While supporting legal protection for same-sex relationships, Anglican Bishop of Canberra and Goulburn Stuart Robinson told the annual synod of his diocese he remains committed to the traditional Christian view that marriage is ordained by God between a man and a woman.
In his address yesterday to the synod, meeting in Goulburn, Bishop Robinson said resolutions of the General Synod of the Church in Australia had consistently supported marriage between a man and a woman in lifelong union, based on scripture.
