Scottish Episcopal Church votes to back same-sex marriage (religious good news)

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

"The Scottish Episcopal Church has voted to back same-sex marriage, making it the first Anglican church in the UK to do so. The vote, described as a "momentous step" by the head of the church, means gay Christians from any Anglican Church can now ask to be married in a Scottish Anglican Church."

3. OK, can't blame you.

Not enough good religious news to start threads about, apparently.

4. I suspect that if the Anglican communion splits, the Scots will go with the Episcopal Church and oth

liberal members.

5. The tide is turning.

Too slowly, but it is turning. And there is a reaction to this from the most conservative among believers.
