Liturgies of Commitment and Companionship

Currently the Church of England does not permit Same Sex Couples to have formal blessings of marriage in church but does ask that we offer services of welcome and prayer.

Here are a series of Liturgies of Companionship and Relationship that the General Synod Gender and Sexuality Group offer to the church as ways to help welcome faithful same sex couples.
