Church of England: marriages remain valid after gender transition

“The marriage of worshipers who transition to a different gender will still be valid, the Church of England has said. The position extends only to worshipers who were in an opposite-sex relationship at the time of their marriage, it clarified.” - Christian Post

It seems a little counter-intuitive that someone who “transitioned” could provide due comfort to their spouses per 1 Cor. 7, but I guess if those who become impotent or are maimed somehow accidentally are still married, the same would apply to those who do this. That said, I would think that the spouse of someone who wanted to transition might say “honey, we have to talk…”

Wonder what J.C. Ryle would say about the CoE today. He’d have been horrified.

Tyler is a pastor in Olympia, WA and works in State government.
