The New York Faith & Freedom Coalition is not surprised, but disappointed by the U.S. Supreme Court’s split decision striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act and recognizing the legitimacy of same-sex unions if individual states equate them with “marriage.”
We are further disappointed that Californians were denied the right to reaffirm the definition of marriage in their own state as the union of one man and one woman.”
Our founders taught us that our Constitution is effective only for a moral society, “it is wholly inadequate for the governing of any other.”
We see this as an opportunity to double our efforts to teach about the sanctity of authentic marriage, and the need to make God’s design for marriage and family, once again, the primary order for a peaceful and prosperous society. The next generation of Americans is depending on us.
The Supreme Court got it wrong on Roe v. Wade, and as restoration of truth has turned the hearts and minds of Americans to the pro-life position, so will it be with authentic marriage. We are committed to the process.
Rev. Bill Banuchi
Executive Director
