The Episcopal Church's own news service report on Resolution B012, passed 13 July 2018 (Clergy 99-3, Lay 101-5), guaranteeing every couple access to the trial-use same-sex marriage rites even in dioceses whose own bishop objects, through a provision allowing another bishop to provide pastoral oversight. A companion report from the same outlet states the new requirement took effect on the first Sunday of Advent, 2 December 2018.
