Here’s my initial thoughts on the results and why it should be a wake up call for policy makers and commentators:

During #InterFaithWeek it is worth lamenting how English marriage law discriminates against some religions by only potentially recognising weddings in registered places of worship. And how this excludes belief groups and independent celebrants entirely. See further: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/religion-and-marriage-law

My latest book argues that reform is needed in both England and in Wales: https://anthempress.com/religion-in-schools-learning-lessons-from-wales-pb
