From Australia-Anglicans in Perth have voted to have same-sex relationships recognised.
The church synod voted by a two-thirds majority to call for legal acknowledgment of civil unions between people of the same sex.
Rector of Darlington-Bellevue Anglican parish, the Reverend Chris Bedding, presented the motion to the synod.
"We presented a motion saying that the Anglican Church and the Diocese of Perth would like to acknowledge that legal recognition of same-sex relations can coexist with legal recognition of marriage between a man and a woman," he said.
"That had already come last year, it had essentially been vetoed by the Archbishop and it came back this year and the bar was set even higher.
