They want to have their cake and eat it.

In England, the official state church, The Church of England, has just declared it will not conduct same sex marriages. As I see it, as His Majesty's Government had approved same sex marriages, His Majesty's Church should be obligated to conduct them. If they don't like it, they should withdraw their unelected representives from Parliament and ask His Majesty to step done as head of their little club. Then they can continue on an equal footing with other religious groups.

I’ve never met anyone who associates the Anglican Church with the government. Actually we forget all about it.
When preaching in eighties, a lot of my short addresses were based round the pre exilic prophets. Some saw them as an attack on Thatcherite greed and selfishness. I was a fundraiser for one of crypts near cardboard city.
The only time I said anything remotely connected to the establishment, was in saying the state prayers What is wrong in that, Elizabeth was a magnificent queen and herself a Christian. We are added to prey for other Christians. As for her family, they were troubled, as are most families.
At times parliament has stepped in to prevent change , such as the failure of the 1928 prayer book.

But this is a Church of England of the past. And it should be disestablished. Why do all those woke bishopesses sit in the House of Lords. Who do they represent?. It is offensive to call God he, says fat Cottrell Archbishop of York. It is good to be gay, yes, but not to be divorced and remarried.
And we are multicultural, six million Hindus and Muslims too. How are they represented , if at all.
