In a world that is constantly evolving, the debate on marriage and its traditional view remains as relevant as ever.
The Archbishop of York David Cameron, one of the highest-ranking clergy members in the Church of England, has recently made headlines for his stance on this contentious issue.
With his authoritative voice and unwavering commitment to tradition, the Archbishop has become a prominent figure in the ongoing conversation surrounding marriage.
The Archbishop says that while civil partnerships are fine, marriage must only be between a man and a woman.
The Archbishop said he will be acting like a “dictator” if he allows gay couples to wed.
The Government will launch a consultation on the issue in March, and David Cameron has indicated he wants it to be a defining part of his Premiership.
He said at last year’s Conservative Party Conference: “I don’t support gay marriage despite being a Conservative. I support gay marriage because I’m a Conservative”
