SPECIAL SERVICES for SAME-SEX COUPLES - a statement of welcome and invitationOur churches have a long-standing tradition of inclusion and welcome, which we believe reflects the love of God for all people. We therefore rejoice that the Church of England has finally agreed that same-sex couples may celebrate their love with a special service in church. At the same time, we recognise with sorrow that this change has taken so long to come about and those for whom it comes too late. We look forward to holding these services as soon as they are officially approved, and following endorsement from our respective parish church councils. We expect this to take place in the next few months, and invite any couples who wish to hold a service to get in touch with us. With best wishes and prayers, The Rev’d James Hutchings, Vicar of St Mary, Barnes and Rector of the Barnes Team Ministry The Rev’d Stephen Stavrou, Team Vicar of St Michael & All Angels, BarnesNovember 2023
