Bible Doesn't Condone Same-Sex Unions; Neither Should Lawmakers, He Says
There are only a few days left to let your senators know that marriage should only be between one man and one woman.
(AgapePress) - A prominent black Christian pastor is among minority religious leaders calling on the U.S. Senate to approve a proposed constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Black and Hispanic church leaders are urging senators to vote for the Marriage Protection Amendment (MPA), which would protect traditional marriage from being redefined. Those supporting the MPA say it is needed to stop judges from legalizing same-sex "marriage," despite the opposition of voters and their elected representatives. The Senate is to debate and vote on the proposed amendment next week.
The proposed amendment (S.J. Res. 1) reads as follows: "Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman."
Bishop Gerald Glen of the black Pentecostal Church of God in Christ says his denomination's five million members strongly oppose letting courts redefine marriage. And Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, who heads the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Coalition, believes legalizing homosexual marriage would undermine traditional marriage and family life.
