The Hampshire church about to offer same-sex weddings, Romsey, Hampshire, UK - 07 Feb 2024
Abbey United Reformed Church. A Romsey church will start offering weddings for same-sex couples. In July 2016, the United Reformed Church General Assembly passed a resolution allowing individual congregations of local United Reformed churches to decide for themselves if they wished to register their buildings for the marriage of same-sex couples.
After discussion and review, especially over the first few months of last year, the members of Abbey United Reformed Church, Romsey, at their church meeting on March 26 last year, voted by an overwhelming majority in favour of registering the church building for same-sex marriages.
