[Christianity Today UK] 25 Oct 2008--Megachurch Pastor Rick Warren has given his backing to a major campaign to overturn same-sex “marriage” in California.

The Golden State heads to polling stations on November 4 to vote on Proposition 8, a proposed amendment to California’s state constitution that would see a ban on same-sex unions, with potentially major repercussions for states across the US.

Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church and author of “The Purpose Driven Life”, said in his News and Views email to church members, “For 5,000 years, every culture and every religion - not just Christianity - has defined marriage as a contract between men and women.

“There is no reason to change the universal, historical definition of marriage to appease 2% of our population."
