Not for the first time the Church of England in seeking unity has managed to upset many. It will continue to refuse to marry same-sex couples but intends to give them a blessing. The conservatives think this may be the thin end of the wedge whilst liberals, whilst welcoming blessings, are very upset that so little progress has been made towards full inclusion.
Individual priests will be permitted to refuse to give blessings. The forms of words to be used have still to be decided! It is a sorry mess.
