London Rev Andrew Cain defies church gay blessings ban

From Saturday, gay and lesbian couples in England and Wales will be able to get married in a civil ceremony. A London vicar says he is prepared to defy a Church of England ban on the blessings of same-sex marriages.

Rev Andrew Cain, of St Mary's Kilburn and St James' West, says he will continue to bless same sex unions as he always has, thereby directly contravening guidance by the Church of England.
