PSA: June 4th is Marriage Protection Sunday |

Marriage Protection Sunday: Churches encouraged to address 'gay marriage'
June 4
WASHINGTON (BP)--The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission is asking
Southern Baptist churches to consider observing Marriage Protection Sunday
June 4, the eve of Senate debate on a constitutional amendment regarding the
issue.
Senators are scheduled to begin consideration of the Marriage Protection
Amendment June 5, with a floor vote expected June 6 or 7. The MPA, S.J. Res.
1, defines marriage as only between a man and a woman. The proposal is
designed to protect the institution against continuing legal efforts to
legalize "homosexual marriage."
The ERLC, the Southern Baptist Convention's public policy entity, is
requesting pastors to address "same-sex marriage" June 4 and to encourage
church members to ask their senators to support the amendment.
"Supporters of traditional marriage need to bombard their senators' offices
with e-mails and phone calls," ERLC President Richard Land told Baptist
Press, "and preachers across America need to let the pulpit ring forth in
clear and no uncertain terms on Marriage Protection Sunday, June 4, and help
create a groundswell of support for this amendment. I can assure you the
opponents of traditional marriage are doing their best to let their voices
be heard in the corridors of the Senate. It is up to us to let our voices be
heard loudly as well."
Massachusetts is the only state to have legalized "same-sex marriage," but
state supreme courts in New Jersey, New York and Washington could legitimize
such unions before the end of the year.

you continue to demonstrate your ignorance of usenet newsgroups,
scumball, and your disrespect for readers' ability to decide for
themselves what is and is not appropriate.
do you feel like a hypocrite criticizing others for doing what you
do? even osprey has legitimately commented on your hypocrisy.
your hypocrisy aside, what you might want to do to make yourself feel
like an even bigger ***** is take a random sample of posts you've
whined about and then search google for the number of posts with this
topic, demonstrating that readers know what is of interest to them
far better than you do.
