Spencer, an assistant rector at the parish, has denied that's what took place. A regional church official, the Rev. Lou Blanchard, described it as a party to celebrate the couple's relationship.

LONDON: Church may Split into a Federation
A confederation, modelled along similar lines to the Geneva-based World Lutheran Federation, would loosen the ties between the national provinces in the Church, to the extent that they would be free to adopt almost any practice or doctrine they wished.
