Head of the World Council of Churches (WCC) pastor Olav Fykse Tveit said today (July 1, 2010) that WCC does not have a joint position on blessing same-sex marriages and female bishops.
"The World Council of Churches does not have its own position on the questions. Various churches have different positions," Tveit said at a Moscow press conference, according to the Interfax-Religion website.
Tveit added, "The WCC does not have any stand on a question until all churches (that is, church members of WCC) reach consensus on it."
The WCC consists of more than 350 Orthodox, Protestant, Anglican, and other churches in more than 110 countries where 560 million Christians live.
