Louisa Wall has made it clear churches have nothing to fear if the proposed Definition of Marriage Bill becomes law. She says they will not be forced to make any changes to the way they administer the sacrament of marriage.
“The law can’t force a church to host anyone’s wedding. And that won’t change,” she says.
“What will change is that loving couples, regardless of their sex, sexual orientation or gender, will be free to marry.
“My Bill preserves the right of churches to decide who can marry in their church in the same way it preserves the right of a marriage celebrant or minister to decline to solemnise a marriage of a couple.
“The Bill is about fairness and choice. How and where people marry is not the issue.”
