Views Wraw supported the
ordination of women as deacons, priests, and bishops. In February 2017, he announced his support for
same-sex marriage, calling for the "proper recognition through prayers, blessing, celebration and affirmation of all that is good and wholesome in a wide variety of relationships including stable, faithful, committed and God given same sex relationships". ==Personal life==
