Second Vicar Defies Prohibiton on Same-sex "Marriages" for Clergy

From Christian Concern-

A second same-sex 'wedding' involving a Church of England minister took place last weekend.

Rev Andrew Cain, the Vicar of St Mary with All Souls in Kilburn and St James in West Hampstead, 'married' his partner Stephen Foreshew, becoming the second CofE clergyman to defy the church’s ban on homosexual clerics 'marrying'.

Andrea Williams, chief executive of Christian Concern and a member of the General Synod, said: "It is extraordinarily disappointing that just months after the House of Bishops clarified its instruction that homosexual clergy should not marry, yet another minister has acted in open defiance.
