I think I've alredy linked to this on Edhellond. But probably other people would be interested in it, too.

Basically, it's about the wedding rites between same-sex couples in the early medieval Church.

That is fascinating. (And a very nice title for your post, too *g*) I wish today's Church could be as progressive as it was twelve hundred years ago...

I've just discovered this article a short time ago, as someone linked to it from the Axe&Bow list.
