In many churches and denominations, governing bodies are discussing how the Church should respond to the legalisation of same-sex marriages and/or civil unions. Some, like the Episcopal Church, United Church of Christ, and Presbyterian Church (USA) in the US, have responded by supporting same-sex marriage. Some, like the Church of England and Church in Wales, have responded by allowing clergy to enter in civil unions but not yet marriage. Still others, like the Catholic Church, the Orthodox churches, and conservative Evangelical churches, do not provide any recognition.
What do you think? Should the Church fully authorise same-sex marriages? maybe allow civil unions for the time being? Could the Church provide services of thanksgiving and prayers of support? At the centre of this debate and discussion, is, of course, the interpretation of Scripture.
