Sam Margrave is a left-leaning former local councillor and has been a member of the Church of England’s General Synod for over a decade. Politically this makes him highly normative. And indeed, one would never have heard of him but for the fact that he believes in biblical and traditional ethics.
Perhaps it is because he has spent so much time in local politics that he has developed the habit of speaking his mind. Some traditionalists have long wondered if the welcome to speak your mind on any subject in the C of E falls short at the point where the mind is persuaded by the virtues of traditional sexual ethics.
