National Christian leaders support Maine Christians stand for natural marriage and religious freedom

January 25, 2012.  A coalition of nearly 40 national mainline and evangelical leaders stand with Maine Christians who believe that natural marriage between a man and a woman and religious freedom are inseparable.

 Their open letter released last week, clearly states that religious freedom for all Americans hangs on a Christian’s ability to uphold Church doctrine and Scripture concerning marriage.

 “Unnatural marriage, as seen in cases across the country, will curtail religious freedom.  If unnatural marriage is put on the referendum, then all Mainers who trust that their government will uphold religious freedom will, once again, come to the voting booth to keep our current marriage laws.

Our Founding Fathers recognized and created protections for God-given individual rights and freedoms.  Removing Judeo-Christian values from our legal system brings America closer to becoming a secular society like Europe is becoming and China already is,” said Carroll Conley, Jr., Executive Director of the Christian Civic League.
