Letter: Move has been pre-emptive

Some religious bodies – for example, the Quakers and the Unitarian Church – have expressed an eagerness in the forthcoming bill to allow them to conduct gay marriages.

It appears the hostility your church has shown towards parliament has resulted in a pre-emptive declaration by the Secretary of State to exclude the churches of England and Wales from conducting gay weddings.
