QUESTION: What did Vann say about God, sexuality, and love?
Vann said she has “never heard from God that who you are or who you love is wrong.”
She emphasized that:
God affirms people’s identities and loving relationships.
Committed same-sex partnerships can reflect God’s love, not sin.
Biblical prohibitions target abusive or exploitative relationships, not loving, faithful, lifelong same-sex partnerships like her own.
QUESTION: Does Vann believe church teachings evolve over time?
Yes, Vann believes church teachings evolve with time, noting past shifts on issues like divorce and assisted dying. She sees this growth as part of a more loving and inclusive vision of God, which should extend to views on sexuality.
QUESTION: How does Vann interpret biblical warnings on sexuality?
Vann sees biblical warnings on sexuality as condemning abusive or exploitative acts, not loving, committed same-sex relationships, which she believes can embody God’s love.
QUESTION: What are the reactions from the Christian community and society as a whole?
Vann’s appointment was praised as historic and inclusive by supporters (progressives, many in Wales and ecumenical leadership) who see it as a step toward church modernization and inclusivity, but strongly rejected by conservative Anglicans, especially from the Global South (e.g., Church of Nigeria, GAFCON) who condemned her election as unbiblical, with some cutting ties with the Church in Wales, making her leadership both celebrated and contested.
QUESTION: What do you think? Is this a sign of progress—or controversy—in the church’s future? Please share your thoughts in the Comments section.
