Faith Leaders Schedule Stand Against Same-Sex Marriage
Last week, the judicial system of our state issued a disturbing ruling which redefined marriage. This ruling goes directly against God’s purpose, plan, and desire for marriage. The state of Arkansas has long stood on the right side of this issue and prohibited same-sex marriages. However, following Monday’s court ruling legalizing same-sex marriages, ceremonies were performed across this state. We know that God’s Word still reigns in that He loves all of us but not our sins.
Therefore, more than 100 ecumenical faith leaders, Christians and elected officials from around this state ask that you join us on the steps of the state capitol at 11:00 a.m., Thursday May 22, 2014, as we stand on the biblical principles of marriage between one man and one woman.
We stand not in hatred but in love, not against a person but against the principle of same sex marriage as God has called upon us to do.
