Views on right responses to Walker Proposition 8 ruling.
What Is the Gospel Response to the Prop. 8 Decision?
- Matthew Lee Anderson: “Majorities are unstable, and while traditional marriage has the upper hand now, it may not in 20 years.”
- Timothy George, “The decision of Judge Walker could lead to a Supreme Court ruling as charged as Roe v. Wade … A gospel response to this judicial decision and the public battles it will generate requires humility, repentance, love, and forbearance.”
- Andreas J. Köstenberger, “we should not look for a political solution to the crisis surrounding marriage and the family in our culture.”
- Dale S. Kuehne, “many outside observers have been left with a clear sense of what Christians are against, instead of what we’re for. ”
- Andrew Marin, “We can continue to politically fight a drawn-out battle …. Or we can learn right now what it means to live in relation to, and relationship with LGBT people as gay marriage is legalized—continuing to actively show Christ’s compelling nature regardless of state or national policy”
- Scot McKnight, “I wish Christians would cease using so much money and time to establish our Christian ethic through legal processes. … We need to tell a better story through our families.”
- Jennifer Roback Morse, “We must teach with conviction the goodness of God’s creation of male and female.”
- Glenn T. Stanton, “Judge Walker says, ‘Gender no longer forms an essential part of marriage.’ The Christian’s allegiance is clear.”
