Greece has become the first Christian Orthodox-majority country to legalise same-sex marriage.

Same-sex couples will now also be legally allowed to adopt children after Thursday’s 176-76 vote in parliament.

The Church of England – central to the Anglican Communion of 85 million believers across the world – does not allow same-sex marriage, standing by its teaching that marriage is between a man and a woman.

However, the centuries-old institution has been wrestling with ways to make people in the LGBTQ community feel more inclusive in its churches, and it has apologised for the “hostile and homophobic response” some had faced.
