||
Holy Unions |
||
The definition of a Holy Union is the joining of two people of the same gender, by making a lifetime commitment to love and be with as partners for the rest of their lives Although Holy Unions are not a marriage they as near as is possible owing to the fact that “Marriage of two people of the same sex is not officially recognised in Law and by the Church generally”. |
||
Service of Blessing |
||
| The definition of a Service of Blessing is where two people want
to formally commit themselves to each other in front of witnesses,
but think it is too early to have a Holy Union
During the service the couple will give verbal declaration of their
love for each other and a commitment to stay together as a couple.
