A Baptist response to The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013

The Faith and Society Team has produced some notes which are offered as general guidelines for churches and ministers concerned about the implications of the introduction of same sex marriages in 2014.  They are provided in response to the introduction of this Bill and should not be read as an opinion.  Further detailed guidelines for churches and ministers are being considered
During Assembly 2013 we launched a series of conversations that have since taken place throughout our union, in churches, associations and colleges.  There is a breadth of opinion in our union on these issues, the conversations continue and Baptists are encouraged to use the email address talkingtogether@mail.com to submit reflections and outcomes of their own particular conversations.
