The excision of the words 'mother' and 'father' from the dictionary will surely follow.Kenneth Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14024100794161931895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449677811690616608.post-55634126858451343252012-12-13T13:57:15.559+01:002012-12-13T13:57:15.559+01:00I expect the Church of England will regard same ge...I expect the Church of England will regard same gender couples married elsewhere as married in the same way it has always accepted as married couples married in registry offices following divorce. This, of course, merely accentuates the hypocrisy of their ridiculous position in respect of not marrying same gender couples.MadPriesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120376342802143188noreply@blogger.com
