Declaring a 'holy fast,' Grace Episcopal Church has decided to stop performing all wedding ceremonies because its bishops bar the blessing of same-sex unions.

'We are called to join the fast that our homosexual brothers and sisters in Christ have had to observe all their lives,' said the church's rector, the Rev. Robert Hirschfeld, in his sermon Sunday.

The two priest associates at Grace Church, the Rev. Margaret Bullitt-Jonas and the Rev. Burton Whiteside, have also pledged to perform no marriages.


'I am convinced that when gays and lesbians are baptized, they become full members of the body of Christ,' said Bullitt-Jonas. 'They are not partial members or conditional members or second-class members.'
