The German Church has convened a synod which will reach its conclusion in 2023. The Synodal Path –  as it is sometimes called – has had a strong presence in Germany, becoming a central movement for change within the Church. One of the ideas floated by the representatives of the movement is blessings for same-sex couples. In the last few days, some German bishops have come out in support of this movement called ‘#OutInChurch.’ The chairman of the Synodal Path, the Bishop of Aachen Helmut Dieser , said on January 24th that their discussions ought to ‘lead to a further development of the Church’s sexual morality.’
