바쁘고 힘든 이민 생활 중에 힘든 기도제목을 올려드립니다.
메릴랜드가 동성결혼 합법 8번째 주가 되었다 합니다.
오늘 3.32.2012(금요일)
그래서 메릴랜드에 사는 우리의 아들과 딸들은 가까이 믿는 동성친구들을 남자 아내, 남자 남편, 여자 아내, 여자 남편으로 두어도 아무런 문제가 없는 주가 되고 말았습니다.
우리의 밥상 머리에서 남자 아내, 남자 남편, 여자 아내, 여자남편의 며느리(?)와 사위(?)가 함께 하는 풍경을 열매로 얻게 되었습니다.
먹고 사는 먹거리 문제로 바빠 일어설 힘이 없는 저희를 대신하여 열심있는 기도와 수고와 애씀과 희생을 드려주신 분들의
수고가 있었음에도 불구하고 말입니다.
오늘을 출발로 여러분 자녀들의 가장 가까운 절친들이 이상한 나라의 엘리스가 되어 남자 아내, 남자 남편, 여자아내, 여자남편일 것이라 합니다.
하나님과의 깊은 만남이 오늘 여러분들의 기도안에 머무시기를.
이 사람 또한.
때가 너무 늦었습니다.
한탄스럽게도.
그러나 아직 기회가 남아있다 합니다.
저는 동성애자들을 증오하지 않습니다. 다만 이길 힘을 얻게 되시기를.
오직 십자가 은혜 안에서만 죄의 강한 구속으로 부터 자유할 수 있습니다.
오직.
Cardinal Dolan, one of the original signers of the Manhattan Declaration, has, acting on behalf of the US council of Catholic Bishops, has officially rejected President Obama’s so-called “compromise” concerning the outrageous attempt to force  religious institutions to purchase insurance covering abortion-inducing drugs, contraception, and sterilization.
Dolan has also signed one of our most recent and powerful statements in opposition, which you will find on this website
 
This issue has unfortunately become a major campaign debate. I say unfortunately, because this should not be a partisan fight. This is a battle over our most fundamental freedom: freedom of religion. And it’s also a battle over the Constitution--whether Congress can allow government agencies to legislate. It’s a battle that is going to be fought out on Capitol Hill and in the courts.
 
We stress that this is not a political question. This is not the Obama Administration vs. the Church. This is a question of whether the Constitution will be respected and the first liberty protected, or whether the bureaucrats will be allowed to make a decision that will override our religious liberties.
 
Congress would never mandate religious organizations to violate their faith. But in passing the Affordable Health Care Act, Congress in essence delegated its legislative authority to federal agencies—staffed by unelected political appointees.
 
We want to do our level best to keep this from becoming a partisan issue, and we want to argue always on the high ground, protecting the Constitution and respecting freedom of conscience. It’s at the heart of liberty. When this is lost, all liberty is gone.
 
The official position of the Bishops’ Conference signals that no compromise could succeed. Every single Christian, regardless of denomination or church affiliation, has to take the same stand.
 
We would be eager to know if there are groups and associations in your community you can speak with; if you will talk to your pastor about preaching on this; if you would be willing to go to other people in your community and get them to sign the Manhattan Declaration.
 
The most powerful weapon we have at this particular time is people power. We need 1 million people to sign the Manhattan Declaration. It will let people know we are not going to be rolled over and we are not going to quit fighting.
 
Can you help us?
  
It’s up to us—every one of us—to vigorously defend life, marriage, and religious liberty.
God bless you,
 
The Manhattan Declaration
