Historic move puts Anglican church in Wales at odds with Church of England, which forbids the practice
The Anglican church in Wales will offer special blessings to same-sex married couples after a historic vote welcomed by campaigners for equality.
The move puts the Welsh church at odds with the Church of England, which forbids clergy to bless same-sex marriages. It falls short of allowing same-sex marriages in church, and includes a “conscience clause”, allowing individual clergy to decide whether or not to offer blessings.
