At the first public meeting in Paris in November 2009, we studied the effect of u couple and the blessing of a biblical perspective, theological, sociological interventions with the philosophy N tion Olivier Abel and Protestant Biblical scholar Corinne Lanoir, Professors at the Protestant Institute of Theology in Paris.

This second phase focuses on the moment of celebration: we work the liturgy. In which the liturgical sense, is couples, how it responds, moves, enlightens needs anthropological and spiritual needs of people? How to take it into account in the form and content of liturgies for blessing same-sex couples?

We want input from stakeholders on the subject . We thought the liturgies possible (we will make a proposal) or already existing, we want to echo on the job.

Exchanges and debates open to all, with tasting fee.
