Canadian churches hope to see ’gay marriage’ law reversed

Christians across Canada are being urged to contact their representatives in Parliament and encourage them to support an upcoming motion to reopen the debate over "gay marriage." Such a motion by the Conservative government could come in December, and it could be the first step in a process to overturn a 2005 law pushed through by the then-Liberal government legalizing "marriage" nationwide for homosexual couples. Newspaper tallies say Conservatives may not have the votes to pass the motion, but churches across the country aren't giving up. On Nov. 9 more than 40 denominational and religious leaders from various backgrounds released a "Declaration

M. Charles Bakst: Same-sex marriage debate ignites

After the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled last week that same-sex couples are entitled to marry, the Boston Globe quoted an exultant state Sen. Cheryl Jacques, who is about to leave to head a national gay and lesbian group. She said, "I'm very proud of Massachusetts. We are the cradle of justice and liberty. We have a long history of being civil rights leaders." My question for Rhode Islanders: Are we any less? True, some here participated in the slave trade. But we also were home to abolitionists. We have always been a beacon of religious freedom. And we were one of the first
