On 8 June, the Scottish Episcopal Church voted at its General Synod to permit same-sex weddings in its churches.
The Scottish Episcopal Church (the SEC) is the Anglican Province in Scotland. A relatively small province, it ‘gave birth’ to the Episcopal Church of the United States (ECUSA), by consecrating America’s first bishop.
Recently, ECUSA has pursued a revisionist agenda in the area of human sexuality, leading to the formation of a new orthodox Anglican Province, the Anglican Church of North America, recognised by Gafcon and thus by the majority of Anglicans worldwide. Their Archbishop is Foley Beach.
