The bishops will recommend that 'prayers for God's blessing' for gay couples be adopted, the BBC expects.
The Church of England has been debating the issue for years - its stance is at odds with the Scottish Episcopal Church and Church of ScotlandChurch of England bishops have refused to back a change in teaching to allow priests to marry same-sex couples, sources have told BBC News.
BBC News spoke to several bishops present at the meeting who said the Church's teaching that Holy Matrimony is only between one man and one woman would not change and would not be put to a vote.Same-sex marriage has been legal in England and Wales since 2013. But when the law changed, the Church did not change its teaching.
The Anglican Church in Wales has provided an authorised service of blessing for gay couples but does not allow same-sex weddings in church. A conservative bishop said: "We're being honest about the fact we're not of one mind in these issues. But we're not going to give up walking together."Charlie Bell and his partner Piotr said they would continue to campaign for the Church to change its teaching on marriage.
"It leaves same-sex couples in a bit of a limbo and also as second-class citizens," he told BBC News.
