"A new poll reports that a large majority of pastors in the Church of Sweden are open to blessing gay marriages.
The poll, conducted by Sveriges Television (SVT), found that 68 percent out of 1700 pastors responded that they would be willing to officiate at gay marriages performed in churches.
A small minority (21%) disagreed with church sanctioned gay marriages, while 11 percent refused to answer.
Sweden is likely to become the seventh country to legalize gay marriage. A gay marriage bill was introduced in the Riskdag, Sweden's parliament, last week and enjoys wide support."
