I'm holding Ghana's LGBTQ+ community in my prayers - Archbishop of York

• A third UK Anglican cleric has slammed Ghana's anti-LGBTQ+ Bill

• Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York joins the Archbishop of Canterbury and Bishop of London

• The Anglican Community in Ghana says it fully supports the Bill

Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York in the United Kingdom, has stated his support for the global Anglican Church's pro-LGBTQ+ stance in recent tweets.

Cottrell is the 98th Archbishop of York serving the diocese of York. He threw his weight specifically behind an October 26 statement issued by the leader of the Anglican community worldwide, Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

He said in his tweet, "I share the Archbishop of Canterbury’s concerns and support the action he is proposing. I am holding the LGBTQ+ community in Ghana and across the world in my prayers."

Cottrell, who is also head of the dioceses of the Northern Province of the Church of England becomes the second Church leader in England to publicly comment on Ghana's anti-LGBTQ+ Bill currently before Parliament.
