Rejoice, ye singleton, for this week, thou art truly blessed. On Wednesday, the Church of England released the findings of its report on families and households and one of the key messages, endorsed by the archbishops of Canterbury and York, is that it’s about time we honoured the state of singleness.
The commission, which has consulted over the past two years, “believes strongly that single people must be valued at the heart of our society” and wants the church to celebrate them.
