Government to change Canon Law on Civil Partnerships

http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2867

[Anglican Mainstream] August 9, 2005--The Government proposes to change Church law by order, having obtained consent of the Archbishops' Council and the House of Bishops, to add the term 'civil partner' wherever the term 'spouse' occurs. The result is that Church law is about to be changed to embed the notion of civil partner without a single discussion by General Synod, dioceses or parishes of the Church.
