The Baptist Union of Great Britain (BUGB) has begun a process of reflection on whether ministers should be allowed to marry their same-sex partners.
Current rules forbid BUGB ministers from entering into same-sex marriages.
Appendix 3 Section 4.3 of the Ministerial Recognition Rules addresses sexual misconduct and includes "sexual intercourse and other genital sexual activity outside of marriage (as defined exclusively as between a man and a woman)".
A formal request has been made to amend the clause by removing the words "as defined exclusively as between a man and a woman". CT.
