From Christian Post-The bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee has announced that his regional body will not perform gay marriages.
In response to The Episcopal Church's recent vote to recognize rites for gay marriages, the Right Reverend John C. Bauerscimdt released a statement stating that his diocese will not perform such unions.
"In 2012 the General Convention of the Episcopal Church authorized provisional rites for the blessing of same sex relationships, which might be used for the blessing of these relationships in churches under the direction and with the permission of the local bishop," stated Rev. Bauerschimdt.
