Service of Holy Union for John and Israel

Description

Fr. John Darcy Noble officiates the Holy Union of John C. Fout and Israel at the Church of the Beloved Disciple, 348 West 14th Street, New York City. By the mid-1970s, the Church's Holy Union liturgy had become a well-established sacramental rite through which same-sex couples celebrated their love for one another.
