Mehr als 81 Prozent der Protestanten in Großbritannien halten gleichgeschlechtlichen Sex für Sünde. Wie die Londoner Zeitung Times berichtet, hat eine Umfrage des Instituts ComRes unter nicht-katholischen Kirchenmitgliedern ergeben, dass lediglich drei Prozent schwulen und lesbischen Sex nicht für sündig ansehen. … Die Umfrage wurde vor dem Hintergrund der anglikanischen Weltbischofskonferenz durchgeführt, die noch bis zum 3. August im südenglischen Canterbury tagt.
