In 2003, a Church of England report stated that the traditional understanding of the Bible’s teaching on same-sex relationships continues to be the most convincing one. However, in 2013, the Pilling report expressed greater hesitation in the face of what it called ‘conflicting scholarship’.
This thorough summary of studies on the Bible and same-sex relationships produced since 2003 assesses the validity of that change in judgment between 2003 and 2013.
