Short answer - I'll marry anyone (as long as they have 'reverend and serious respect' for marriage in and of itself).
There are some 'hoops' to get through but none of the several hundred couples I've married have ever complained. They have to meet with me on two occasions - one for the legals and one for my 'theology of marriage'. I highly recommend that couples do either Anglicare's 'Growing Together' or 'Prepare'. That's me. everyone's different. There has been a push in recent years to go back to the 1961 constitution of the (then new) Anglican Church of Australia and require one (or indeed both) to be baptised. I have resisted this strongly because I believe that marriage is for everyone - not just Christians. It is a gift from God for the wellbeing of humanity. 'Members of the flock' don't pay anything - part of the perks of being part of the family but I think our fees are reasonable [I don't get anything :-( because I get paid whether I take weddings, funerals, baptisms etc or not :-)] Does that answer the question?

Do you let anyone marry in yout church or do they have to be of the flock? I've heard that a lot of people never go to church but then the woman wants a church wedding and they have to do things to get in.
