'Tinder for polygamists': Indonesian firm angers with app for multiple marriages
A new Tinder-like dating app for wannabe polygamists is
courting controversy in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation,
where such unions are legal but largely seen as taboo.
The application, which has been downloaded 50,000 times
since its release this May, is marketed as an online platform to match male and
female users ready to be part of a “big family”.

Church of England votes against gay marriage report
Members of the Church of England's ruling body have voted
not to "take note" of a controversial report on homosexuality and
same-sex marriage.
The report by the House of Bishops called for a
"culture of welcome and support" for gay Christians.
But it maintained that marriage in church should only be
between a man and a woman, and services should not be held to bless same-sex
relationships.
The motion was defeated by the House of Clergy, following
hours of debate.
The House of Bishops voted overwhelmingly (43-1) in favour
of the report, and the House of Laity backed it by 106 votes to 83.
But to win approval the report had to win backing in all three
houses and the Clergy rejected it by 100 votes to 93, with two abstentions.
Bishops will now have to produce a new report on the issue.
