This is a must-read article by my Centre for Law and Religion colleague Mark Hill KC about the legal position of the Church of England raising important issues particularly for marriage law: https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2023/15-september/comment/opinion/opinion-pivotal-moment-for-church-and-state

I was inspired to write this because for several years gay marriage was a patchwork of rights. You could get married in one place but not the other. Being married in one state didn’t mean you could get divorced where you lived.

My new blog post on how the publication of the #census data on religion by age underscores the need to reform our Christian-centric laws on marriage and religion in schools: https://sandbergrlaw.wordpress.com/2023/01/30/census-results-on-religion-by-age-further-questions-christian-centric-laws/

My new blog post on reports that Church of England Bishops are not recommending that the Church recognises same sex marriages.

I look at the underlying legal issues and some possible ramifications in terms of the need for reform: https://sandbergrlaw.wordpress.com/2023/01/18/the-church-of-england-and-same-sex-marriage/

The 2021 census figures show a decline in the number identifying as Christian and an increase of ‘no religion’.

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