[Christopher] Papps and his partner, Chris Moret, 37, are gay. And, despite the diocese\u2019s provisional authorization of same-sex blessings, they can\u2019t be married in the chapel.<\/p>\n
Unlike adjoining Trinity College, which is affiliated with the university, the chapel is the jurisdiction of the Anglican Diocese of Toronto. And it hasn\u2019t yet been allowed to offer same-sex blessings.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegrettably from my standpoint, they can\u2019t,\u201d\u009d said Trinity\u2019s chaplain, Rev. Andrea Budgey. \u201cThe inclusion of same-sex couples in the church is something that\u2019s the subject of pretty much constant conversation . . . I\u2019m one of the people in the Anglican Church who would very much welcome the full inclusion of gay and lesbian people and that\u2019s why I\u2019ve been part of this conversation for a long time.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
