Well-written article. "But for Christians the determinative imagery for unions is based upon the marriage of Christ and his bride, the Church. Jesus is anything but impartial, his mercy exceeding mere justice and impartiality. Christian relationships are not fundamentally contractual, but covenantal. Furthermore, no piece of paper adequately codifies the partnership between people, whether we call them husband, wife, partner, spouse, or any other thing. Christians (and all Americans) should do everything we can to strengthen the full legal protections for all partnerships. We should thank God that this week’s development suggests that the marginalization of gay couples and their civil rights will no longer be the rule, but the exception."
