Church of England says single people should be valued, Jesus was single

A Church of England report released Wednesday said that single people "must be valued at the heart of our society."

The 238-page report, titled "Love Matters," was the third in a trilogy of major reports commissioned by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. The first addressed housing and the second examined care and support. 

The latest report, on families and households, reflected the church's changing stance on singlehood and single-person households.
