Statement from Anglican Mainstream on proposals for civil partnerships to be contracted in churches

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Kendall Harmon

From here:

“Civil partnerships are not marriage. The legal protections available to civil partnerships should not be confused with marriage. Marriage between a man and a woman is God’s provision for human flourishing. Research has shown that it offers the best environment for the care and nurture of children and family stability which our society needs today.”
