Scottish Episcopal Church approves gay marriage
8 June 2017 Scotland
The Scottish Episcopal Church has voted to allow gay couples to marry in church.
It makes it the first mainstream Christian church in the UK to allow same-sex marriages.
The vote to amend canon law on marriage, removing the stipulation that it is between a man and a woman, was carried by the Synod in Edinburgh.
It means that gay Christians from any Anglican Church can now ask to be married in a Scottish Anglican Church.
