UK’s first same-sex Anglican church wedding takes place
by Nick Duffy, Pink News:
The first same-sex wedding in a UK Anglican church has taken place in Scotland.
The Church of England and Church in Wales are both legally banned from carrying out same-sex weddings, but the Scottish branch of Anglicanism, the Scottish Episcopal Church, is not bound by the same laws.
In a break from traditional Anglican teachings, the Scottish church voted to permit same-sex weddings this year after bishops, clergy and laity all overwhelmingly supported the change.
This month the first same-sex weddings took place in a Scottish church.
