In response to the news item, a couple of persons on this list have
supported the decision by the Church. I hope that no Hindu religious
leader will make a similar pronouncements.
However, there is one query that comes to my mind. Will the church
consider the wedding to be a 'mixed marriage', if the non-Christian spouse
converts to Chrstianity for the sake of having a church wedding? I am
assuming that the Christian spouse or his/her family insists on a church
wedding. I know the couple have an option to be married in front of an
appropriate authority, and that the marriage will be legally recognised.
