MCC's International Statement
on Marriage Equality
(Abbreviated here, read the full statement)
MCC has preached a three-pronged Gospel of
salvation, community and social justice for 38 years and has
worked together to make real a world of justice and
equality...
We have celebrated more than
6000 same-sex and opposite-sex weddings around the
globe every year...
We celebrate with our sisters and brothers who have already won
the right to marry and/or civil partnerships...
Marriage equality is a civil
rights and justice issue...
Most religions have their own requirements for
entering into a valid marriage...
MCC believes that any person who wishes to enter into a
civil marriage should have the right to do
so...
Religious
communities should have the right to decide
whether or not it will provide religious services to sanctify
that marriage...
We will use our religious voice and our churches
to both promote and provide religious services and blessings for
lesbian/gay couples who wish to sanctify their relationship
before God...
We will use our resources to speak
out against voices that would seek to
demonize homosexuality and who are opposed to equal
rights for same-gender couples and full marriage
equality...
