On November 4th our country elected its first African American President. It was a historic step in addressing our horrific history of racial prejudice and injustice.
For many, the day was marred by the passing of a ban on gay marriage in Florida and California. The proposition has ignited a fire storm nationwide, with many pundits weighing in…
protests getting heated and violent…
a nationwide protest tour covering “every major city in our country”
and many placing the blame at the feet of the church (of any denomination)
To be honest, I did not see this one coming…I assumed Florida would ban gay marriage, but was shocked when California voted yes on proposition 8.
On November 23rd we will be tackling the issue of gay marriage at The Bridge, and I am looking for input from anyone who cares to weigh in…
How should the church respond to this issue?
What are your thoughts on the role of government in this arena?
