If marriage really is a sacred institution, then why is the government controlling it, especially in a nation that affirms separation of church and state?

So I really would like to see both parties respond to the poor with greater commitment. But I've got to tell you, the Democrats, I feel, are doing a better job in that respect than Republicans are.

Marriage should be viewed as an institution ordained by God and should be out of the control of the state.

It is hard to say what the future holds, but this is probable - it won't be just like the past.

I contend that it's impossible to read the Sermon on the Mount and not come out against capital punishment.

One of the problems with evangelicalism is that it has allowed itself to be married to the Republican party... Jesus is not a Republican. Nor is he a Democrat.

It has taken countless hours of prayer, study, conversation and emotional turmoil to bring me to the place where I am finally ready to call for the full acceptance of Christian gay couples into the Church.
