Sydney Anglican Archbishop labels same sex marriage an ”˜unholy matrimony’

Marriage equality advocates have spoken out after Sydney Anglican Archbishop Glenn Davies labelled the prospect of same-sex couples marrying as “unholy matrimony”.

Archbishop Davies (pictured) also referred to “so-called gay marriage” as contrary to God’s law during his first presidential address to the Sydney synod, while warning of consequences for the entire country if Australia “slipped further and further away from the tenets of scriptural authority and biblical morality”. Davies, 62, was elected as Sydney’s new Anglican Archbishop in August.

“Specious arguments for ”˜marriage equality’ and ”˜equal opportunity’ have become the mantra of many, without any serious engagement with the nature of marriage,” the Archbishop said.
