CofE Clergy folk. Visiting a church today while on holiday. The priest just read banns and at the end said "if any of you know any reason in law why they may not marry each other. Please see me after the service"

I've never heard this before. I assume they do this for decorum sake. But is it legal? I didn't think we had any room to mess with the words of banns.

An interesting article by Canon Judith Maltby on how the Doctrine of Marriage in the has changed in the last century. It hints that the very vocal, but minority of, opponents of blessings of same-sex unions in church might find themselves on the wrong side of the debate.
