States the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland's Church Council voted on the proposal to add parallel marriage definitions to the church's constitution, the measure receiving 62 votes in favour and 40 against, 15 votes short of the three-quarters majority required for passage, so the church's existing definition of marriage as between a man and a woman remained unchanged.
