Woe to the English Bishops - with Lee Gatiss and Ben Kwashi

See this content in the original post

The Bishops of the Church of England have announced that same sex relationships will be able to be blessed in Church of England churches. 

In a massive turnaround, the English bishops are saying that what God says is sin, is blessed. 

The prophet Isaiah says, 

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. - Isaiah 5:20

Despite the u-turn, in a fudge, the Bishops claim that by not authorising same sex weddings in church, there is no change in doctrine. 

We talk with General Secretary of the Gafcon Movement, Ben Kwashi and Director of the Church Society UK, Lee Gatiss.
