From The BBC-A proposal to allow Church of Scotland ministers to carry out gay marriages will come before the Church of Scotland's General Assembly later.
The report will say there are no longer grounds to deny ministers the authority to preside over gay weddings.
It will also recommend that the Kirk apologises for failing to recognise and protect the Christian vocation of gay people.
Scotland has allowed same-sex couples to marry since 2014.
However, individual church traditions can each decide whether to participate.
Equal marriage has remained a divisive issue within the Church of Scotland.
The report prepared for the General Assembly invited the church to take stock of its history of discrimination against gay people and to apologise "individually and corporately".
