From Australia-The Anglican Bishop of Western Australia's North West has warned of a split within the church if it were to consider allowing same-sex marriage.
It comes after the Anglican Dean of Perth, the Very Reverend Richard Pengelley, said he believed the church would discuss the issue of changing its policy at the next National Synod.
"I think it will come, I think it's inevitable," he said.
"I think it's the trajectory of inclusion and compassion which is the way I see religion being out of step with society — not hardening, but being more inclusive.
While the Federal Parliament continues to debate Senator Dean Smith's bill, which is expected to legalise same-sex marriage, the Anglican Church still deems it illegal to marry a same sex couple.
