Church gay 'wedding' row
Updated on 15 June 2008
The Church of England is in a row after two clergymen have their civil partnership blessed in a ceremony which includes vows and rings.
Traditionalists claim it clearly breaks church rules. In fact there aren't formal rules as such.
But the House of Bishops most recent statement on gay partnerships reaffirmed that clergy of the Church of England should not provide services of blessing for those who register a civil partnership.
