Proposed Revised Definition of Marriage

The Civil Union and Marriage Issues Committee has just voted, 34-18-2, to recommended a series of amendments to the Book of Order that would remove references to "a man and a woman" from sections of the Directory for Worship dealing with marriage.

The action may be found here.

I'm posting this from my phone, and will have more to say later about the process in the committee that led up to this decision - but, it's kind of hard to do that from a smartphone, which is the only way I have, here in the committee room, of getting online.
