WITH GOD'S APPROVAL? A theological exploration of blessing same-sex couples, in conversation with Walter Moberley and Isabelle Hamley

Can God bless sexually-active same-sex relationships? Is it right for the Church of England to bless them? Davie examines papers for the C of E General Synod, then explores the pattern for God's blessing in Scripture. He concludes that if prayers of blessing were authorised, it would mean God's rejection of same-sex unions no longer applies.
