On his decision not to defend “The Marriage Act“
The Rev. Anthony Evans, who heads the National Black Church Initiative — a coalition of 34,000 black churches — is blasting President Barack Obama’s decision to stop defending the The Marriage Act.
The Rev. notes that Obama “has violated the Christian faith” by failing to uphold Jesus’ teaching that marriage is between a man and a woman.
DOMA was signed into law in September, 1996 by then President Bill Clinton. The law is intended to uphold and preserve the sanctity of marriage between a man and woman.
Gays, (and other special interest groups) who make up a substantial portion of the left-wing voting bloc, say the law is unconstitutional. Not surprisingly Obama, who was opposed to gay marriage up until now, all of a sudden agrees with them.
Obama’s new stance has angered the Rev. Evans who says black churches must “reassess their extraordinary support for him.”
Looks like President Obama will not be able to please everyone but he’ll have to take a position and make his position clear.
Anyway, it’s about time “the real church” take a stand against the president’s decision!
