Much as he would like to, he acknowledged that it is \u201cagainst Anglican policy\u201d; no doubt his bishop had a quiet word. The wedding in question was in some way \u201cpart of a radio competition\u201d, an association that imbued it with ironclad legitimacy.<\/p>\n
What is immediately apparent in this interview and, indeed, is apparent in every other instance of a same-sex couple wanting a church \u2013 I hate to call it \u201cwedding\u201d \u2013 agglutination,<\/i> is that the desire has nothing at all to do with Christianity. Instead, it is a combination of: a poke in the eye to those who think marriage should be exclusively between people of the opposite sex; a liking of pageantry with ancient roots \u2013 a pageantry, though that, while it presents a pleasing aesthetic, has been rendered impotent through being drained of spiritual significance and thus, makes no demands on the participants; and an ecclesiastical stamp of approval on what, deep down, everyone knows is invalid.<\/p>\n
Nothing to do with Christianity whatsoever; just like St. Matthews in the City.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\r\n\t
