The Uniting Church in Australia has today published an additional marriage liturgy that will allow same-gender couples to get married in Uniting Churches from Friday 21 September 2018.
The liturgy was approved by the Uniting Church’s Assembly Standing Committee which met in Sydney from 24 to 26 August.
The publication of the Uniting Church in Australia Additional Marriage Liturgy (2018) follows the decision by members of the Fifteenth Assembly Meeting in July to hold two equal and distinct statements of belief on marriage to honour the diversity of Christian belief among Uniting Church members.
Dr Deidre Palmer, President of the Uniting Church in Australia, has issued a Pastoral Letter to church members, to reassure people about the additional liturgy.
