In Canada we have same-sex marriage and legislation that is supposedly supposed to guarantee that ministers can refrain from performing same-sex marriages. However, a pastor at church stated that locally there has been pressure from authorities to not turn away same-sex couples. My solution, which my pastor agreed with, is in the future, if needed, is for ministers and churches in BC to not perform legal weddings, but to only perform church blessings/weddings. Actual weddings would be civil and those that wish to have Christian weddings could do so within Biblical standards.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!:)<BR/><BR/>RussDr. Russell Norman Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703130625190233670noreply@blogger.com
