The conservative Evangelical umbrella group Anglican Mainstream has sent a letter to all the House of Bishops regarding the position the bishops have taken on Civil Partnerships.

In the letter sent last week to all Diocesan Bishops, Archdeacons, Deans and Diocesan secretaries in the Church of England, they were asked to reconsider and revise their pastoral advice on civil partnerships “in order that the church may be seen to act on its declared beliefs”.Therefore, the bishops were asked to give a clearer message in the light of the current confusion concerning civil partnerships. The provisions of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 will come into force in December 2005.
