The Anglican Communion has been grappling with LGBTQ+ issues for decades, leading to debates and divisions within the church. The Church of England has recently held a General Synod to discuss such issues, with participants agreeing to disagree on the matter. The ‘via media’ approach, which seeks to reconcile different viewpoints while maintaining unity, has been employed in the Anglican Communion since its inception. However, conservative bishops from Africa, Asia, and Latin America maintain that homosexuality is contrary to scripture, while progressive bishops argue for full inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in church leadership and rituals. Despite ongoing conflicts, the Anglican Communion remains united through the via media, which emphasizes shared worship and life while allowing for diverse beliefs.
