The Church of England should not change its opposition to same-sex marriage, a new report has recommended, despite saying it needs to "repent on the homophobic attitudes" it has previously had.
A document from the House of Bishops says the Church should adopt a "fresh tone and culture of welcome and support" for gay people.
It says guidance in marriage should be interpreted in a way that provides "maximum freedom" for homosexuals.
New teachings on marriage and relationships should also be drawn up to replace those introduced in the 1990s, it suggests.
There was also "some support" in the House for the new document including "penitence for the treatment some lesbian and gay people have received at the hands of the Church".

This reminds me of the Clintons. They say something for every side of the issue, and people hear what they want to hear. To bad no one will hear the gospel from this group.
Translation: “You can do whatever you like, but be quiet about it.”
A document from the House of Bishops says the Church should adopt a “fresh tone and culture of welcome and support” for gay people.
Foolish.
It’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference between the post Vatican II “Catholic” Church and the Anglican Church/Church of England.
