Gay ministers become Britain's first married clergy
A gay couple have become the first clergymen to have a civil partnership in Britain.
Paul and Brizz Miles-Knight, a layman and a priest, had a ceremony on the bank holiday weekend, with the backing of the United Episcopal Church, set up for those who have lost faith with Roman Catholicism and Anglicanism. The Portsmouth based ministers met on the internet. Paul, 40, was in a broken down marriage when he met his partner, Brizz, 33.

Hi, we are the couple in question, and would like to correct one point on this. Brizz is, in fact NOT a layman, and was not at the time of our ceremony. He was ordained to the Diaconate somewhat prior to the ceremony, and that is why it was the first of its kind, that of a Civil Partnership between two clergymen. Love in Christ, Fr Paul & Rev'd Brizz.
