Congratulations to the Revd Reuben Preston and Stephen
who were married at St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral,
Glasgow on Tuesday 10 Sept, the 6th anniversary of
their Civil Partnership. They were married by the
Provost of the Cathedral, the Very Rev. Kelvin
Holdsworth.
Apparently they are now deemed to
have been married 6 years by British Law!
According to British Law it is back dated to the day
of their Civil Partnership. Reuben has therefore
achieved the accolade of being the longest serving
married gay priest in the C of E. Reuben was Rector of
the Sharnbrook Benefice (which includes Felmersham)
from 2016 to 2018.
