The Presbyterian Church of Vanuatu is calling for all churches to come together to discuss same-sex marriage and push the government to legislate against it.
Last week, it was reported that gay marriage ceremonies, which are prohibited under the constitution, are being performed between couples from Australia on the small island of Iririki off Port Vila.
Pastor Alain Nafuki says his church is opposed to gay marriage, and while it may be legal elsewhere it should not be in Vanuatu.
He says the church has contacted the government, asking for an outright ban.
"We are requesting for the Internal Affairs to come up with some kind of policy. We need some immediate guidelines to guide our people here while waiting for the government. They need to put a legislation, that would ban all these practices, in Vanuatu."
Pastor Alain Nafuki says his church may organise a get together of chiefs, communities and other churches to discuss same-sex marriage.
