Scottish Episcopal Church

Good to see the churches are dragging themselves into the 21st century
 
What do I find ironic about this.

Watched a film a year or so ago, think it was based around the church in Boston in the USA. It was about the sexual abuse priests did you young church goers. It was sickening. At the end of the film, there was a list of all of the places throughout the world where sexual abuse by the church, and of all faiths took place. In was a truly unbelievable shocking list.

Yet these very people are the ones who have judged gays and stopped gay marriage for years.

A positive step in the right direction and not before time.

Spotlight. Great film & worthy best film Oscar winner IMHO. Actually made me swear out loud at the end of the credits.

As with most of my stories. There are massive holes in them. But that is the excellent film that i was on about. Cheers BIM
 
OK the Scottish Episcopal Church is bigger than the United Reformed Church, but I'll just note that on Saturday 9 July 2016, the General Assembly of the URC voted in favour of allowing its local churches to conduct and register marriages for same-sex couples. This meant that the URC was the largest UK denomination to freely permit the celebration and registration of marriages of same-sex couple in its churches.

Same sex marriage in a mainstream church is not completely new - there are enlightened traditions out there.
