Presiding Bishop's Message Regarding the Supreme Court's Decision on Marriage
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Many of us have been disappointed by the Supreme Court's decision to permit same-sex
marriage in all fifty states and territories. We can only regard this as a secular response to an issue that
has no bearing on the sacramental nature of Christian marriage. Entering into partnerships may well be
a legal option for people who wish to join together for business purposes or to otherwise further secular
interests through a partnership. However, such partnerships cannot be regarded as marriage in the
Christian understanding of marriage.
While we may lament the action of the Supreme Court, we must understand that the narrow definition they employed to make the decision has no bearing on the Biblical definition of Christian marriage. We issued a statement about Christian marriage in 2012. That statement, which is prominently displayed on our website, fully expresses the position of the Anglican Church in America regarding Christian marriage.
Christian marriage, as stated clearly in The Book of Common Prayer is "...an honourable estate,
instituted of God..., which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence and first miracle
that he wrought in Cana of Galilee..." Christian marriage, as instituted by God, is between one man and
one woman. We hold to the truth of this. As people of God, we are called to do so..
We offer our prayers for all who may be affected by this decision. We also offer our prayers for
all who are made in God's image and will continue to minister faithfully to all people. We know as well
that the God of our creation will indeed make all things well.
Your Brother in Christ,
+Brian
