The “UK Foreign Office” can stuff it. The Bible cannot be “reinterpreted” for their agenda. It stands.
What wicked apostates!
Homosexuals control neo pagan decadent Britain.
Dear FO;
FOND
It cannot be reinterpreted. It would have to be rewritten. That’s not possible.
If G*d said homosexuals were “abominations”, how would the ‘por-poofters’ have that adjective reinterpreted?
Bah! HUMBUGGERY!
Ummmmm......NO!
“For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;
and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.”
(New Testament, Romans 1: 26, 27)

Why don’t they concern themselves with telling Muslims how to “re-interpret” the Koran and Hadith?
That office needs to be reminded that the sun set on the British Empire a long time ago.
What in the hell is the “global south”????
So much for freedom of religion and conscience. This cultural imperialism of the worst order.
“Reinterpret” this: Romans 1:27.
They need to mind their own blankety blank business and do the job that is theirs.
It goes to show that government has far too much power when those who work for it presume to think that they have the right to go around telling others what to do and what to think.

Such is the way of the State Church. They’ve always gone right down the primrose path to perdition on political grounds.
We’ve seen it with the Church Of England, we’ve seen it with the Lutherans both here and in WWII era Germany, we’ve seen it with the Roman Catholic Church.
Funny how these three are taking part in ongoing negotiations to be in communion with one another. Motivated by political power no doubt, since the Spirit seems to have gone out of them some time ago, only residing in a remnant of each clinging to orthodoxy.
The will to political power within a church is corrupting and corrosive. The will to religious power within a polity is even worse.
Religious leaders should respond with a demand for the Foreign Office to reinterpret their LGBT policy in line with the Bible.
Americans forget that the Anglican Church in England is a creation of the state in Britain and remains a state Church with the British monarch as the titular head of the Church.
Yes, the British now practice freedom of religion, but that is separate from church-state relations between the British government and the Anglican Church in England.
To get the British government completely out of Church affairs, the Parliament would have to sever the ties of the British monarch and government from the entanglement with the Anglican Church in England, which is historic. It is not just a matter of law, but of 100s of years of national tradition.
