Steve Chalke, the founder of the Oasis movement, has told Premier his
church is in the process of registering to perform gay marriages.
He revealed the news whilst launching a charter for churches to sign up
to which promises they'll be inclusive of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender people.
Oasis Church in Waterloo, London, had applied to authorities for a
marriage licence that would allow it to perform gay weddings, he told Premier.
He said exclusion by the Church has had a deeply damaging effect on LGBT
people, both directly and indirectly.
His 'Open Church Charter', which he claims the overwhelming majority of
churches can agree to, includes a commitment to provide gay marriages
"within the scope of current British law".
