Colson calls for preaching initiative on marriage
Chuck Colson (former Nixon aide and now head of Prison Ministries) is fronting a new initiative to encourage pastors, priests and clergy across the United States to address their congregations on the spiritual foundations of marriage during the months of September and October, 2004.
The initiative is a response to the court ruling in Massachusetts which legalised same-sex “marriage�. "Since then, we’ve seen challenges to traditional marriage in San Francisco and Washington state," says Colson. "This movement threatens to permanently damage our society’s most basic institution. That being so, you would expect a huge public outcry. Unfortunately and surprisingly, that isn't happening."
Colson's hoping that a wide band of preachers from all denominations will get across the message that redefining marriage is a crisis for children.
