SIR – I have read recently how some clergy’s strongly held religious beliefs would not allow them to marry gay couples in church.

Oddly, these same strongly held religious people don’t seem to have a problem with charging about £440 to marry couples when it only costs £35 in a register office.

Once you take the money then surely you should have to play by the same rules as everybody else (religious beliefs or not).
