‘Anglican Church denies new wedding vows are sexist’

“The Anglican Church says new wedding vows which involve a woman pledging to ‘submit’ to her husband are not sexist.

Introduced as an alternative to the traditional vows that use the word ‘obey’, the new promises were written by the liturgical panel of the church’s Sydney diocese. …”

– Perhaps a slow news day at the ABC, but a good opportunity to speak of the Lord Jesus and what he has done for his Bride.

Update: The story was probably prompted by this in today’s Sydney Morning Herald – To love and to submit: a marriage made in 2012. (h/t Roger G.)
