Episcopal Church Votes to Back Same-Sex Unions 
-----------------------------------------------


 
The Episcopal Church has become the largest U.S. denomination to approve
same-sex unions. At its annual convention, church members voted to allow
priests to bless same-sex relationships. The ceremony would include
prayers, vows and the exchange of rings, but would fall short of being
considered a marriage.
