WE SUPPORT
N.C. Constitutional Amendment One
Chatham Friends Meeting
is a Quaker church that supports the passage of N.C. Constitutional
Amendment One, which defines marriage as being between
one man and one woman.
Why do we support this amendment?
We believe that God is very clear in His Holy Scriptures
about the sanctity of marriage and what constitutes a marriage.
Mark 10:6-7
“But when God made the world, 'he made them male and female.
So
a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife,
We believe that marriage is ordained of God
and is a spiritual union in which man and woman are joined by God to live
together as one.
Although some current societal
trends seek to push acceptance of unions that stand directly in opposition
to Scriptural directive, God has not
changed HIS mind.
We believe that God loves each of us equally
but that does not mean that He loves our actions when they are clearly
against His law.
Amendment One is very simple,
only two sentences:
“Marriage between one man and one woman is the only
domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State. This
section does not prohibit a private party from entering into contracts with
another private party; nor does this section prohibit courts from
adjudicating the rights of private parties pursuant to such contracts." (NC
SB-514 Defense of Marriage)
