The Church has not authorised a formal blessing for civil partnerships and does not legally perform civil partnerships. However, the Chancellor of the Diocese of London explained, "There is no prohibition on prayers’ being said in church or there being a 'service'". The Church of England Archbishop's Council confirmed that:   18,059 couples entered into a civil partnership between December 2005 and the end of December 2006, with a further 8,728 taking place in 2007, 7,169 in 2008, 6,281 in 2009, 6,385 in 2010, and 6,795 in 2011 (up 6.4%). Divorces/dissolutions for partnerships were between women 64.6% of the time in 2011, which, when compared to the 50.7% take up of civil partnerships for men over the same year and a 51.2% rate for women in 2010, suggests the partnerships of women were failing significantly more overall than between men considering the ONS claim that more men were entering partnerships before 2007 and the numbers had evened out since. The end of 2011 also saw a total of 53,417 civil partnerships between 106,834 people, meaning estimates by the 2004 Labour government of between 11,000 and 22,000 people entering partnerships by 2010 were less than a fifth of the actual amount.  25.5% of civil partnerships for the UK were granted just in London, followed by Brighton and Hove and statistically the average age for a civil partnership was 40 for men and 38 for women in 2011. By 2009, 487 couples in 20 different countries were registered at British Consulates. Six of these countries have since legislated for same-sex marriage, civil partnerships or something similar. British Embassies in a further nine countries are licensed to conduct British Civil Partnership but had yet to perform their first. Most of the overseas territories have not indicated plans to introduce civil partnerships. The British Crown dependency of Jersey has civil partnerships available, but only for same sex couples. Both opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples within the Falkland Islands, Isle of Man and Gibraltar have civil marriage and civil partnerships available as of 2016. In 2008, the Cayman Islands Legislative Assembly moved to amend the definition of marriage as specifically between a man and a woman, signalling its opposition to civil partnerships. Her Majesty's Government has stated that it has no intention of forcing Cayman to accept civil partnerships. After the establishment of civil partnerships, several individuals and groups advocated extension to opposite-sex couples. A campaign group known as Equal Civil Partnerships was organised, specifically to call upon the government to extend civil partnerships to all couples.
