Church Ok Expected For Same-Sex Marriage

The State Lutheran Church in Denmark, the first country to allow civil marriages of homosexuals, is expected to approve same-sex religious marriages, a Christian newspaper reported Friday.

The Kristelig Dagblad, an independent paper close to the church, said the church’s 12 bishops will be presented with a report by a church-appointed committee on the question next week.

The bishops are expected to approve the report, which recommends allowing homosexual weddings, the newspaper said without citing its sources. It said the decision is to be made this autumn.
