living in the parish, a regular worshipper and on the Electoral Roll or a specific connection. To find out what
this means please read our guidance notes:
Marriage in Church after Divorce
Being divorced is no longer an insurmountable problem for those who wish to be married in church. Please just
telephone the parish priest and arrange to meet with him. Christians believe in a loving and forgiving God and
the priest is more than happy to discuss the remarriage of divorced people in church. The Church of England
has produced an introductory form and notes which you can download here.
