<p>The proceedings of these meetings of the House of Bishops and College of Bishops,
including details of votes, are confidential. Both the College and the House decided
that further work should be done on allowing clergy to enter into same sex marriages,
and on the stipulation that currently requires celibacy for clergy in same-sex relationships.
It is stated in the General Synod papers (GS2328 and annexes: <a href="https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2023-10/gs-2328-llf-nov-2023.pdf"
target="_blank">gs-2328-llf-nov-2023.pdf (churchofengland.org)</a> ), that there is
‘further work on the Ministry elements of the Pastoral Guidance including on clergy
in same-sex marriages’. It is hoped that this work will be done as quickly as is possible.</p>
