equal marriage

Quakers in Britain have responded to the government consultation on equal marriage and called for the proposals to allow same-sex couples to marry in religious premises.

Quakers in Britain, Unitarians and Liberal Jews have urged the Prime Minister to stand firm on his commitment to change marriage laws to enable same-sex couples to marry.

Families and communities may be made up of single people, couples and smaller sub-groups or networks, differing in sexual orientation, gender identity and many other ways, says Savi Hensman. In the Christian vision, and especially in the community of Christ, all may make a unique contribution, and grow in unique ways while drawing closer to the One whose love sustains the universe, brings abundant blessings and satisfies the deepest thirst.
