Germany's second largest denomination, Evangelical Church in the Rhineland, has voted to allow pastors perform gay marriages as official unions.
But their clergy members who disagree with the unions will not be forced to officiate the ceremony rather the couples may seek blessings from another parish.
The church is believed to have lost more than 1 million members since 1975, according to Christian today.
Just some days ago, the American branch of the Anglican church, called the Episcopalian, has decided to embrace gay marriage, while the majority of the rest of the church remains unconvinced.
And where does the UK Anglican community stand in all of this?
More than 100 senior British Anglicans urged the Church of England to repent for "discriminating" against lesbian and gay Christians.
In it, they say the Church must acknowledge LGBT members around the world have been "vilified" and treated as "second-class citizens" and argue that the church must embrace 21st-century values if it wishes to appeal to more people.
*Even the churches are becoming more interested in appealing man rather than obeying God. End time!
