Although the Catholic Church and Church of England is opposed to the measure, groups such as the Quakers, Unitarians and Liberal Judaism support marriage rights for gay couples and have stated they would like to provide the ceremonies...¨ HERE

I think it will be very difficult for the bishops to stop Church of England vicars who want to marry same gender couples in their churches if the law of the land allows it.
