Same sex marriages OK at National Cathedral

[TE999]

The Cathedral's Episcopalian congregation and leadership already have many Gay and Lesbian persons as members.

The Very Rev. Gary Hall, Dean of the Cathedral, a same sex marriage advocate, stated that he sees marriage as a human issue, not a political issue.

That's very much in keeping with this congregation's (National Cathedral) stances back a half century or more.

Faggots and faggot wannabees took over the church years ago, self respecting Episcopalians like me left long ago.

" . . . it will be performing weddings that combine civil marriage ceremonies under local law with a blessing from the church." And since marriage is a civil contract under the law, as any half-way theologically aware person knows, that's really all any church wedding does. That's why same-sex marriage is here. It's a civil contract and the government has no business saying two consenting adults can't enter into a legal contract. Get used to it.
