Milestones—
Change the law so that any faith leader registered as such, has the right to conduct weddings equal to Anglican, Quaker and Jewish leaders.
We think the current rules regarding weddings are outdated and favour Anglican, Quaker and Jewish leaders over other religions or faiths, giving greater religious power to clergy from 3 faith groups over any other. We think that legal bias needs to end. We believe a lot of the population feel let down by the rules some Churches have that say they cannot have a religious wedding. Other faith leaders may be willing to conduct the wedding for same-sex or mixed faith couples.
