- Notes
- "In 1964 `The Canadian Book of Occasional Offices' was published at the request of the House of Bishops. Among the rites contained in the book was `The Blessing of a Civil Marriage' .... The rite was quite simple .... In 1992 'Occasional Celebrations of the Anglican Church of Canada' appeared with a short rite for the `Blessing of a Civil Marriage'. .... The General Synod of 2001 requested that a new rite for the blessing and celebration of a civil marriage be produced for presentation at the General Synod of 2004. The Faith, Worship and Ministry Committee of General Synod reviewed the existing text and created a new and more expansive liturgy. General Synod 2004 resolved to 'authorize the `Blessing and Celebration After a Civil Marriage' (between a man and a woman) .... [which] reflects the church's recognition of the validity of marriages that have been solemnized in accordance with its understanding of marriage, whether or note the exchange of vows took place in the context of an act of worship presided over by an ordained minister". -- p. 3.
