But is all about how a proper unrstandg of the biblil teachg on divorce, which I discsed here recently, may also be helpful fdg a Christian approach to homosexualy. The same prcipl, seems to me, n be applied to homosexual activy. We n start by notg that homosexual activy should not be nsired a worse s than wrong heterosexual activy: the Bible passag where homosexual acts are nmned, such as Levic 18 and 1 Corthians 6:9-10, also nmn the same terms heterosexual adultery, ct etc.
But, if we believe as we should that homosexual activy is no worse than heterosexual activy outsi marriage, then we n see that by the same prciple special arrangements would be appropriate for those who nnot accept the strict teachg on marriage bee of their homosexual orientatn. If the same prcipl are extend to homosexual relatnships, the ncln mt be that they should be regulated a siar way, such that homosexual activy is allowed only wh long term mted relatnships, not as unrtricted sleepg around. The cleart way of regulatn is to make formal arrangements for some kd of gay or lbian marriage.
On this basis, would be nsistent for Christians to view homosexuals a civil partnership, and fahful to that partnership, as an equivalent posn to people who are divorced and remarried. If, as at least the Church of Wal, the latter n be bishops, then no logic remas not allowg a gay person a civil partnership to be a bishop.
