Episcopal Church Gives Provisional Approval to Same Sex Rites |
|
|
|
The Episcopal Church has provisionally approved a union rite for same-sex couples and a nondiscrimination policy that covers transgender people.
At the denomination's General Convention, being held in Indianapolis, the Prayer Book, Liturgy, and Church Music Committee today passed a resolution authorizing provisional use of the rite for blessing same-sex relationships beginning December 2, according to the Episcopal News Service.
It now goes to the church's House of Bishops for further action. There would be further review of the rite before the next General Convention, scheduled for 2015.
