People are also reading… In a statement Wednesday, Welby said the report"encourages us to prioritise the hopes, needs and aspirations of families — in all their diversity." According to the Office for National Statistics, the number of people living alone has increased by 8.3% over a decade to 2021. That year, the proportion of one-person households ranged from 25.8% in London to 36% in Scotland.
The report's suggestion to"honour" singleness is another deviation from the church's traditional teachings of heterosexual marriage. While same-sex couples cannot be married by the church, a vote earlier this year favored blessing their marriage.
