Below, I have copied some words from a recent email from the Coalition for Marriage, and if you are in favour of supporting the present definition - one man and one woman, for life - please take action.
Jesus found himself in the midst of the marriage debate of his day. His words take us back to God's original intention. '“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’[ And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.” (Matthew 19.4-6)
Jesus was aware that within this framework, there would still be problems and difficulties, and some marriages would not last the course. But it is important that we see that this definition is fundemental to our understanding and practice.
In this context, we can all pray that marriages and family life will be strengthened to survive and thrive in these challenging times.
Best wishes,
Richard
There are just four days left to tell the Government that you oppose the redefinition of marriage. At midnight on Thursday (June 14) the public consultation on rewriting the meaning of marriage will close.
Don’t let time run out. Sending a response only takes 60 seconds using our fast and easy web form. Your response could save marriage for generations to come.
What will marriage mean when your children or grandchildren walk down the aisle? Will it mean what it means today, or will it mean something different?
