Episcopal News Service's 28 July 2022 survey, by reporter Egan Millard, of same sex marriage policy across the Anglican Communion's forty two provinces at the time of the 2022 Lambeth Conference: it names the Scottish Episcopal Church as having approved same sex marriage on second reading in 2017, with the first such wedding in the British Isles on 1 August 2017, the Church in Wales as having approved same sex blessings, not marriage, in 2021, and reports that most provinces hold no formal recognition and several sit in states where homosexual relationships remain criminalised.
