London – Catherine Bond and Jane Pearce from Felixstowe became the first same-sex couple to be blessed by the ‘Church of England’ in Britain. Same-sex couple Catherine Bond and Jane Pearce from Felixstowe, Suffolk, have written a new chapter in the history of the Anglican Church when they were blessed in a ceremony at St John the Baptist Church.
The previous ban was lifted after the House of Bishops gave permission to bless same-sex couples. The General Synod, known as the Church of England’s parliament, voted for the first time in February to bless same-sex couples in civil partnerships and marriages. The vote was held over two days after an eight-hour long debate.
