Subject: RE: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
Christian attitudes to same sex marriage

"In the Church of England, many Anglican clergy already bless same-sex couples on an unofficial basis but there is no authorised ceremony in England."

Quakers have been welcoming same-sex unions for almost two decades.

"In 1987, British Quakers agreed that local groups could celebrate same-sex commitments through special acts of worship. The Quakers were the first member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland to sanction the official blessing of same-sex relationships."
