In my opinion Summer weddings are flawless for outdoor settings such as a beach, garden or a beautiful yard. To bring some light to an evening awesome outdoor summer wedding, light some torches and place strings of lanterns hanging from trees and that would be beyond description. marriage counseling

Hi Sammy
How lovely that you are exploring faith and want to learn more. You become a Christian the moment you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour - the learning comes later and is an enhancement :-)
The type of Bible you read is a personal choice - a bit like your choice of magazine or newspaper. I have about a dozen different versions and like them all for different reasons - The Message is contemporary language and can pack a punch but it's not really a faithful interpretation - it's more of a paraphrase. The Good News Bible is similar - they are tabloid style simplified versions.
Some Bibles have the words of Jesus in red print. One of my Bibles is a green eco version and has words in green that refer to the creation. The preferred option for lots of scholars is the NRSV (New Revised Standard Version) because of its inclusive language - but poke around in the Christian bookshop and see what you think. They'll be happy to advise you
Whichever type you opt for, A study Bible may help you. They are more expensive but have very helpful notes at the bottom of the page. Cross referencing is also useful as it points you to other places where the subject you look up is covered. They usually have a Concordance at the back as well - so you can look up a word and find out where to look for it in the Bible.
There are lots of courses too - Alpha, Christianity Explored, Essence etc. I think the most exciting Bible teacher is Chuck Missler and you can download his course 'Learn the Bible in 24 hours' which gives an overview - it's a romp through but will make your hair stand on end!!
Have fun exploring -it's a quest that will change you life
Much love for the journey

We are getting married in June 2011 & I have found the perfect church that I think will be the perfect setting for our magical day.
Just a couple of issues though. We are just outside the parish boundary plus I have been previously married.
I have spoken to the Chaplain & he has explained that unless we are with in the boundaries or have ties to the area then it will be impossible to be married there.
I have since heard that my local parish church can we request that we get married there. Is this correct or just out dated ?
I thought that any church would be happy to marry people as we are now in an age where you can get married almost anywhere.
Hope you can help,
Samantha
Hi Doris
Yes you can ask and a written service does exist for this purpose. It assumes that you have a faith in God and are wanting to live a Christian life together.
I'm not sure about Malta, but certainly in England the whole country is split into parishes and we consider every resident to be a parishioner. So do go and see the Vicar and hopefully you'll receive a warm welcome and affirmation
Kind Regards

Hi Joanna
If your parents or grandparents lived in England or were married in the Church of England then that would be classed as a qualifying link and you could apply to be married there. But have you looked at any of the Churches in Scotland?
The Episcopal Church in Scotland is the equivalent to the Church of England - it's Anglican. You might also be interested in looking at The Church of Scotland.
Don't worry about being judged about being pregnant. Most Ministers will recognise your commitment to each other and to the baby, and be pleased that you want to be married in Church.
I hope this helps
Warm regards

Hi Rebecca
My own view is simply that you have been brought up as a Christian and you clearly have a relationship with God. You are quite right that you can talk to God anywhere - and I highly recommend this!
As far as the Church is concerned there are lots of churches who all do things slightly differently, and if you want to be part of a church community or family then it's good to find one in which you feel welcomed and comfortable - whatever that denomination happens to be...Roman Catholic, Anglican, Baptist, Methodist etc...there are lots of us and you are free to choose. You don't have to follow the church of your parent's choice - just as you are not obliged to vote for the same political party as they do. As adults you are free to make that choice for yourselves. I don't think God cares as much about splitting into 'groups' as we do. He just wants to be part of your life.
As far as your wedding is concerned I am happy to tell you that your local Church of England church considers you both to be parishioners whether you attend or not - and you are welcome to marry there with no strings attached.
Don't get too tangled up in Church politics - just keep praying anywhere and everywhere and I'm sure he'll bless you on the day and into the future - whatever you decide.
Kind regards

Hi Erica
As far as I'm aware a Catholic Priest is not officially a registrar - that's certainly the case in this country - so a registrar would have to be present to make the marriage legal. So I'm assuming that the ceremony you'll have in Morocco will be a religious ceremony/ Blessing rather than a marriage.
If you live in the UK you can certainly go to your local Anglican church (or any church with which you have a qualifying link) and ask for a marriage service. Anglican Priests ARE registrars and the marriage will then be legal. Obviously we then pray for you and ask God's blessing upon your lives which wouldn't be included in a Civil Ceremony.
Your Priest can't really refuse accept that you are legally married but he may still feel that he needs to pray for you and ask God's blessing upon your union - but that is presumably what you are looking for from him. I hope this helps
Kind regards
Jan
