California Clergy Urge You to Vote No on Prop 8

October 30, 2008

 

Again and again and again…

  • This IS NOT a religious issue,
  • There absolutely IS a difference of opinion within religious communities, including in the Christian community on what the Bible, God and Jesus Christ have to say about homosexuality and gay marriage – it is not a foregone conclusion that if you are a Christian or other person of faith that you oppose gay marriage,
  • This IS an issue of equality and civil rights
  • This IS an issue of love
  • People of faith have a long, rich and beautiful tradition of fighting for civil rights and justice.  I believe that ultimately, they… you… will stand up for what is right.
