Marriage Equity and Christianity in a Secular Democracy under the Rule of Law

Posted by Rodbower in Parish News, marriage, progressive christians, same sex marriage, secular

I have created some controversy with my public stand in support of marriage equity. I hope that this paper may clarify my views enabling both my supporters and detractors to come to a deeper understanding of the issues.

My primary concern is not one of marriage equity; this is simply the presenting issue. I want, however, to stress the importance of this matter in the terms of human dignity and justice.

The abiding concern is one of the relationships of people of faith with the secular state.

St Mary's Heritage Church, Gosford

Historic St Mary's Church is by far the most popular of our Churches. It was originally built in 1858 in East Gosford. In 1905 it was moved stone by stone to Gosford. You can still see some of the markings in the stone that helped re-assemble the building.

St Mary's is being restored to its former glory. Restoration has enabled reverse cycle air-conditioning and new stained glass windows to be added to this beautiful space. St Mary's can seat up to 100 people comfortably on seats with white covers. St Mary's also has space on the lawns at the front of the Church for marquees to be set up for drinks and nibbles after your special event. It is a lovely space with views through large Morton Bay Fig Trees to Brisbane Waters.

Take a tour of St Mary's church.

 

  

Christ Church, Gosford

Built in the 1950's and opened in 1961 this large Church replaced the small wooden building which was originally located on the site. This circular Church, with a long aisle, is able to seat up to 250 people comfortably.

It also has a range of technology such as data projectors that you may wish to use on your special day.
