Delay Signals Direction Over Decision
- The Church of England delayed approving same-sex marriage by requiring two-thirds majorities, which effectively stalls change without outright rejection.
- Albert Mohler warns that 'navigating' signals gradual departure from biblical orthodoxy toward heterodoxy.
Legal Steps Mask Theological Drift
- Bishops will seek further legal and theological advice and postpone final action on standalone same-sex services until canon law is rewritten.
- Mohler interprets this as pragmatic delay that implies movement away from a clear biblical stance.
Supermajority Rules Create Factional Frustration
- LGBTQ advocates see the two-thirds rule as a de facto kill-switch for same-sex marriage reforms.
- Mohler notes their complaint confirms a majority exists but not a supermajority, underscoring internal ecclesial tension.
