The inclusion of gay marriage was and is a hot topic in the Episcopalian community. Some episcopal churches don’t recognize it, although many churches will recognize a gay marriage. It’s pretty much a church by church issue. I’m in different about it. I just don’t like how a lot of the churches display the pride flag.
Discussion
I see. So there isn't like a denominational platform or something about it.
The words that the priest said really resonated. Mainly because he just picked a passage from the old testament and barely added anything to it.
The Episcopal church recognizes same sex marriage. But individual priests have been known to turn down performing a same sex marriage.
Whereas in Catholicism what the Pope says goes and there’s no questioning it (he’s infallible), the Episcopal’s are more lenient in their practice.
That is kinda interesting. Sorta decentralized approach.
