Same Sex Christian Marriage
A small but growing number of mainline Protestant denominations such as the United Church of Canada and some non-trinitarian denominations, perform weddings between same sex couples. Other churches perform ceremonies blessing same sex unions, but do not refer to them as marriages. The Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Christian churches do not perform or recognise same-sex marriage. Whether to bless same-sex marriages and unions is a matter of debate within some denominations.

Famous quotes containing the word christian:
“Ive almost gained my heavnly home; My spirit loudly sings;
The holy ones behold they come, I hear the noise of wings.
O come, angel band, Come and around me stand.
O bear me away on your snowy wings, To my immortal home.”
—T. Haskell, minister and hymn-writer. Published in Christian Harmony. Angel Band, l. 5-8.
