DC Bishop allows Same Sex Marriage

Bishop Chane of D.C. is allowing his clergy to officiate at Same Sex weddings.  This is a big deal.    I think he may be the first Bishop to allow weddings. In other dioceses where same-sex marriage is legal, couples have to get civilly wed and then have their relationship blessed by the church.  I think this is an important precedent.  He isn’t specifying what rite they should use. He will work that out in consultation with the clergy.  His guidelines are here.
