Subject: RE: BS: Church denies new wedding vows sexist
Men & women are different, & so should be their marriage vows- Peter Jensen Peter Jensen is the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney & a very conservative & controversial man.

my favourite bit - When a husband promises to love his wife as Christ loved the church and give himself up for her, he is declaring his intention to be a man of strength and self-control for her benefit and for the benefit of any children born to them. Such qualities, properly exercised in the spirit of self-sacrifice, enhance the feminine and personal qualities of his wife.
