The Diocese of Toronto congratulates Bishop Kevin Robertson and Mr. Mohan Sharma, who were married today (28 December 2018) at St. James Cathedral in the presence of their two children, their families and many friends, including Archbishop Colin Johnson and Bishop Andrew Asbil.

(Bishop Kevin and Mohan, who have been a couple since 2009, had their relationship blessed in 2016 according to the Pastoral Guidelines of the Diocese of Toronto and are now married under the marriage provision of the same guidelines.)

We wish them much joy in their marriage.

(Editor’s note: The Anglican Church of Canada has not given final approval to same-sex marriage rites. The issue will come before the 2019 General Synod for action.)
