Church of England: Faith and Order commission declines to define a “woman”

1389

Mr Adam Kendry (Armed Forces) to ask the Chair of the Faith and Order Commission:

Q103 What is the Church of England’s definition of a woman?

The LLF project however has begun to explore the complexities associated with gender identity and points to the need for additional care and thought to be given in understanding our commonalities and differences as people made in the image of God.
