Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Soon after, the Anglican Church in Wales voted to introduce special blessings for same-sex married couples.
53% : As senior clergy have argued, the church's rigid stance on same-sex relationships is undermining its outreach efforts, particularly in relation to the young.
53% : The Church in Wales has agreed a "conscience clause" allowing individual clergy members to opt out of offering blessings to same-sex couples.
52% : In June, the Methodist church became the largest religious denomination in the UK to allow same-sex marriage.
48% : Opting to follow in the footsteps of Wales and Scotland (where the Episcopal Church allowed same-sex marriage back in 2017) would begin a healing process, after what the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has described as the "hurt and unnecessary suffering" caused to LGBT+ Christians by a protracted, tortured debate.
