Thankfully. This Swedish Rite looks good. Pity it is not intended for wider application......... many 'hetero-couples' might relate rather well to this Rite too........ Thankfully God knows beyond the limitations of words........... thankfully. Thankfully, God transcends our hoops, stumbling blocks, skipping ropes and generally tangled red tape………… Thankfully.

This rite is not an authorised rite of the SEC, so it could not be used here in an official SEC service without a bishop's permission. You hit the nail on the head by saying that it cannot be used, just like the Common Worship Pastoral Services cannot be used, in Scotland. Quite right, David.

This Swedish rite is, like the Common Worship Pastoral Services and almost everything else (Canon 22 and all that jazz), surely unauthorised for use in Scotland?
