Abbey United Reformed Church in Romsey Offer Marriage Services for Same Sex Couples In July 2016, the United Reformed Church General Assembly (the denomination’s central decision-making body) passed a resolution allowing individual congregations of local United Reformed churches to decide for themselves if they wished to register their buildings for the marriage of samesex couples. After discussion and review, especially over the rst few months of last year, the members of Abbey United Reformed Church, Romsey, at their Church Meeting on 26th March 2023, voted by an overwhelming majority in favour of registering their church building for same-sex marriages. The Minister, Revd Mike Perrott, said: “We believe that all couples in committed relationships who wish to solemnise their marriage vows before God, in our church, should have the right to do so.” e church elders are pleased to announce that they applied for registration to offer the marriage ceremony to same sex-couples in Abbey United Reformed Church, Romsey and that this was granted on 11th January 2024. It will not take long for the church to register its Authorised Persons to o ciate at same-sex marriages, a er which they can proceed! Ceremonies for the blessing of civil partnerships, renewal of vows or thanksgiving services for special wedding anniversaries can also be held within the church for all couples. Should you wish to discuss the options for holding your marriage at Abbey United Reformed Church, please contact Revd Mike at: revd. mike13@gmail.com For further details of the fellowship, events and activities at Abbey United Reformed Church please visit: www.abbeyurc.org. uk
