Divisions Deepen in Pilling

The Church of England House of Bishops' Working Group on Human Sexuality, chaired by Sir Joseph Pilling, published its report ("the Pilling Report") on November 28, in advance of discussion by the House of Bishops in December and the whole College of Bishops in January (see this TLC report by John Martin). It is, as Lambeth Palace tweeted, a report to not of the Church of England but it will set the agenda for future discussions and so its content, rationale, and significance are important.
