Do I have to draw you a damn picture?
The Church of England will provide no more resistance to gay marriage among churchgoers, the Archbishop of Canterbury revealed last night.
Gay marriage becomes legal tomorrow and thousands of ceremonies are planned across the country from one minute past midnight onwards.
Changing the law has caused bitter divisions within the church.
Last month, bishops attempted to ban clergy from marrying same-sex partners, provoking a backlash among Christian supporters of the change.
However, in a shift in tone, Archbishop Justin Welby tells the Guardian today, “I think the Church has reacted by fully accepting that it’s the law, and should react on Saturday by continuing to demonstrate in word and action, the love of Christ for every human being.”
