Anglican splinter group grows as first same-sex blessing goes ahead in Canterbury

From New Zealand-


Another Anglican vicar has resigned over the decision to allow same-sex blessings as the first ceremony takes place in Canterbury under the new rule.

Rangiora vicar Andrew Allen-Johns resigned from his parish earlier this month and established a new church in central Christchurch called Anchor. The move comes as a male couple became the first in Canterbury to have a same-sex blessing under the Anglican church.

One of the pair declined to comment as they wanted the blessing to remain a private matter.
