LCMS Takes Stand on
Same-gender Marriage
(World Magazine)
Dr. Gerald Kieschnik, president of the Lutheran
Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) denomination,
issued a statement Wednesday announding the
LCMS's commitment to support marriage amendments
on the ballots in three states Nov 4. He
went on to explain biblical and social reasons
for the sanctity of marriage. “Children do best
when raised by a loving mother and father,” he
said, giving one example.
As for the concerns of
“libertarian-minded” Christians who say a civil
marriage is not the same as a religious one,
Kieschnik replied that “marriage is marriage.”
He went on to say that the definition of
marriage for a thousand years has always been
between a man and a woman. “If same-sex marriage
is recognized as legal, undoubtedly it won’t
stop there,” said Kieschnik. “Schools will teach
same-sex marriage as just as valid as what we
understand marriage to be.”
