The Australian Greens have warmly welcomed the Uniting Church decision to allow ministers to marry LGBTIQ couples.
“This is a great step forward by the Uniting Church and I would like to extend my thanks and congratulations from the Australian Greens,” said Senator Janet Rice, Australian Greens LGBTIQ spokesperson.
“Love is at the heart of Christianity - this decision from the Uniting Church is a reflection of that and will be welcomed by thousands of LGBTIQ Uniting Church members and the broader community.”
“I hope that other faith institutions follow the Uniting Church’s lead and allow two people who love each other to marry, regardless of their gender.”
“I’m looking forward to attending my first LGBTIQ wedding in the Uniting Church. Let the Uniting Church rainbow weddings begin!
