Statement on Prayers for Prince George. Holdsworth, the rector of St Mary’s Cathedral in Glasgow, is himself gay and a campaigner for gay rights. The Scottish Episcopal Church, a branch of the Anglican Church, voted in June to remove the reference in the wedding ritual to marriage being a union “between a man and a woman”. Anglican leaders in October disciplined the Scottish Episcopal Church in the same way as they did the US Episcopal Church in 2016 for approving gay marriage. “If you’re going to pray for Prince George, pray for him to be happy… and pray for him to discharge his duty as the prince, to be married and have children,” he told The New York Times.
