Critics say the civil ceremony and later blessing challenge Anglican tradition on remarriage after divorce, risking deeper rifts within the 77 million strong Anglican Communion. Conservative groups and theologians debate legality, wisdom, and the church's future.

When should sex education end in adolescence
Dr. Dobson argues formal sex education should end as puberty begins and teens gain independence in early adolescence. He notes puberty starts around ages 10 to 13 for girls and 11 to 14 for boys, after which teens may rebuff parental talks and seek guidance from trusted youth workers or youth magazines. He urges sensitivity and invites teens to initiate conversations.
