From ABC Australia-The Anglican Archbishop of Perth has rejected for the second time a motion by his church synod to formally recognise same-sex relationships.
Earlier this month, the synod voted two-thirds majority in favour of legal acknowledgement of the civil unions of gay people.
The motion was comprised of three elements.
1. That the Church recognise diversity within the Diocese of Perth, both in people's sexual identities and their theologies of human sexuality;
2. That the Church note the support from many within the Anglican Church for committed same-sex couples being able to register their relationships as 'civil unions' in Australia;
3. That the Church acknowledge that legal recognition of committed same-sex relationships may coexist with legal recognition of marriage between a man and a woman.
