Quakers agree to allow gay weddings uk

'the Quaker church, also known as the Religious Society of Friends, already offers religious blessings to couples in civil partnerships.

At its yearly meeting, held at the University of York, the church opted to extend this to same-sex weddings.

Quakers will ask the Government to change the law, which does not recognise gay marriage, to allow Quaker registering officers to register same-sex partnerships in the same way as marriages.'
