Church of England reversal on gay marriage

The Church of England has reversed it's decision on gay marriage

https://www.churchofengland.org/media-a ... s-blessing

"The Bishops of the Church of England will be issuing an apology later this week to LGBTQI+ people for the “rejection, exclusion and hostility” they have faced in churches and the impact this has had on their lives.

And they will urge all congregations in their care to welcome same-sex couples “unreservedly and joyfully” as they reaffirm their commitment to a “radical new Christian inclusion founded in scripture, in reason, in tradition, in theology and the Christian faith as the Church of England has received it – based on good, healthy, flourishing relationships, and in a proper 21st Century understanding of being human and of being sexual”. "

You have to be very religious to go to church on a Sunday. Most my friends and I go to brunch or shopping.

If you can get a marriage certificate who cares what the church says, you are legally married.
