Services after Civil Partnerships

This comes from today's Ekklesia mailing:

"A paper published at the weekend suggests that under the laws of the Church of England clergy have far greater liberty in relationship to services following civil partnerships than has previously been thought.

It comes after a "marriage" of two gay priests, who were already in a civil partnership, was held at a London church, causing controversy and heated debate."

Having looked at this useful paper by Brian Lewis on the Inclusive Church website, I've also noted the link to the open correspondence between Andrew Goddard and Giles Goddard which seems to provide a good introduction to the current debates on the issue of homosexuality.
