- Prologue
- Bishop W. Robinson, on behalf of the Sub-Committee, responded to the following extract from the Minutes of the meeting of the House of Bishops of 1972, page 16:
- "(xx) MARRIAGE IN OTHER THAN CHURCH BUILDINGS
- Bishop Bagnall and his Co-adjutor asked for the opinion of the House on officiating at marriages held other than in the Church building. Requests for this had come from sincere Church members who felt that as we do not always hold services of the Holy Communion in a church it should be possible to have a wedding in their garden or home. In the discussion which followed it was stated that the Prayer Book and Marriage Canon require 'the body of the church'. No wedding legally can really be private. This would not be the case if it were held on the property of one of the families concerned. It was felt the church is the place of the Christian community and that all weddings should take place in it thus providing the same service for rich and poor. Bishop Bagnall thanked the House for its guidance."
- (1) The above minute does not record what appears to have been represented as a "ruling", but only states an opinion.
- (2) The words of the minute place in quotation marks, "the body of the church" are quoted out of context with respect to both documents, namely the Book of Common Prayer and Canon XXI, and will not bear the meaning imposed upon them in the above minute in either document.
- (3) The phrase, "sufficient cause" provides leeway for a rector to use his discretion with respect to the place of wedding.
- Text
- That this matter be placed on the table until the Bishop of Ontario should be present. CARRIED
- Notes
- Forms of Marriage Service
- It was agreed that the Sub-Committee of the Doctrine and Worship Committee working on the Marriage Service be asked to work on a firm form of Service with definite alternatives that could be used, and also that this Sub-Committee be requested to set forth what are the essentials of a marriage ceremony and to provide appropriate wording.
