Prayers of Love & Faith 

A selection of readings and prayers of thanksgiving, dedication and asking for God’s blessing for same sex couples can now be used in Church of England services following approval by the House of Bishops. 

The prayers can be offered for same sex couples who are in a civil partnership or marriage. They are resources in praying with and for a same sex couple who love one another and wish to give thanks for and mark that love in faith before God. The prayers may be offered in an existing scheduled service. They celebrate in God’s presence the commitment two people have made to each other. The service chosen for offering the prayers, while not a wedding, is an occasion for rejoicing in the expression of thanksgiving and hope, with prayer that those who are dedicating their life together to God may may grow in faith, love and service as God’s blessing rests upon them.

If you are interested in having a service using the Prayers of Love & Faith, we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch here.
