“For Christopherson, using the term “marriage” will be one of the biggest changes. Central Lutheran pastors have held religious “blessing” ceremonies for same-sex couples since about 2000.”

What is the difference between a ‘blessing’ ceremony and a regular marriage ceremony? Is this something these particular Lutherans do for all couples, including straight/non-legally married or what? Why didn’t they use the term ‘marriage’ before if they thought it was possible?

I have no clue...they are of a different jurisdiction and they are clearly proclaiming a different Gospel.
