Strengthening traditional marriage At the Redondo Beach Election Forum, I asked Gwen Patrick--a black candidate for assembly in the Compton area--why black Evangelical Christians believe in traditional marriage, but vote for politicians who support same-sex marriage? She said she hopes to help change all that. I like what Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson said: "The time is now for conservative black churches to join with white Christians in opposing this ruling. For far too long churches have sat on the sidelines while serious moral issues have been decided without their participation. "This issue is about right and wrong. Changing the definition of traditional marriage to include homosexuals is wrong and Christians have a moral duty to speak out against it. Black ministers must encourage their congregations to support grassroots coalitions that seek to protect traditional marriage." What do you think? How can we join in a coalition of beliefs to stand up for the Bible view of marriage?
