GAY MARRIAGE: Church responds to 'anti-gay' opinion

[Religious Intelligence] 29 Nov 2008--The Church reacts to the US opinion that all Christians are "anti-gay," especially with the recent passing of proposition 8 in California, which defined marriage as solely between a man and a woman.

The Mass Media has not done much to give the "whole story" about the Church's persistence in defining marriage as they believe God would define it.

"I've not seen any attempt [by the mass media] to understand or communicate the real concern of Christians concerning gay marriage," said Bob Stith, who heads the Ministry to Homosexuals Task Force in the Southern Baptist Convention – the largest Protestant denomination in the country.

Stith said that Christians have not been much help either, as they tend to focus on what more on what the church is against, rather that what it is for.
