Church officials stressed the new ceremony, which includes prayers and an exchange of vows and rings, was not a same-sex marriage.

    For the record, this shows up on the main BBC News World Headlines page this morning.

    Two hours ago, it was a little more prominent (with a picture) but now it is merely a headline & link as other news breaks…

    It’s completely disappeared from Yahoo’s “latest news” and on the main news page, it’s fifth story down, no pic. It’s not even news, it’s just the what’s happening now culture, which will be on to something else next week.
