Liverpool Parish Church has said same-sex marriage should be treated with the same equality as opposite-sex marriage.
The Church of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas, the Anglican Parish Church of Liverpool, spoke out after the Church of England (CofE) reiterated its position on gay marriage. In “historic plans” the CofE announced its stance “would not change” on the issue as Holy Matrimony is only to be between one man and one woman.
The Revd Canon Dr Crispin Pailing, Rector of Liverpool Parish Church, explained to the ECHO that his church wanted to bring “clarity and simplicity” to a “complicated and messy” issue.
