End this postcode lottery of annulments
SIR – Not long after our marriage my husband wanted to “revert” to the Church. I, as an Anglican, wished to convert. This was a second marriage for us both. Right from the start, we understood, thanks largely to a wonderfully compassionate priest, that we must seek annulments.
For many and diverse reasons, our personal experiences of the annulment process were opposites. My husband’s experience with the Diocese of Wrexham was professional, compassionate, efficient and friendly, even though his annulment was thought to be more difficult than mine. However, mine, at the hands of a large London diocese, was the worst experience of my life. Had it not been for the love and support of my husband and parish priest, I would have quit many times. Eventually, after six months and two-and-a-half years respectively, our annulments were granted.
