Its governing body, General Synod, will discuss on blessings for homosexual couples after a motion was passed by the Diocese of Hereford's local synod.
Rt Revd Richard Frith, the Bishop of Hereford, said: "Clergy are already encouraged to respond pastorally and sensitively when approached.
"The motion, which is part of a much wider debate, asks for guidance on materials to be used in affirming and praying with same-sex couples."
The motion, which was put forward following requests from same-sex couples for a blessing service, suggests parishes should be free to opt out.
While LGBT campaigners expressed their delight, the conservative evangelical group Reform said the vast majority of Christians around the world around still believe marriage should be between one man and one woman.
Director, Suzie Leafe told the BBC: "To ask for a service of prayer and dedication for a same-sex relationship represents a fundamental departure from this teaching."
But a spokesman from the OneBodyOneFaith group said: "Support for such a motion in a predominantly rural diocese like Hereford reflects what many of our members and supporters know to be true - that in communities across the country, in all kinds of contexts, there is widespread support for affirming same-sex couples, and being alongside them as they experience the joy and blessing of their relationships."
