Even if the move is approved, the Church in Wales will still not marry same-sex couples.

A bill to authorise a service of blessing will be considered on the first of a three-day meeting in Newport.

"The most important thing about the blessing service is its theological meaning. The blessing by the Church defines a gay relationship as a gift from God rather than a sin."for the position of Bishop of Llandaff. "The Anglican Church in Scotland has already voted to go all the way - they marry gay couples without a difference," he said.
