Subject: Standing up for conscience

Ben Boxer comments: We will see a lot more of this during the next four years -- people of conscience rebelling individuallly against homophobia and speaking out, forcing those who intend to continue discriminating against us to also speak out in defense of their indefensible position. Thus, our enemies will reveal themselves. It is better to know who they are and where they are so the challenge they present to us can be met head on instead of allowing them to sneak around doing damage behind the scenes.

Headline:
Church leader rejects document on marriage: Umbrella group's head fears paper will be used to attack gays, lesbians

(The Sun Spot, 11/18/00)

Text:
The head of the National Council of Churches, a group representing the nation's mainline Protestant and Orthodox churches, said yesterday that he has withdrawn his signature from an ecumenical document calling on churches to bolster their support for marriage because he fears it will be used to attack gays and lesbians.

The Rev. Bob Edgar apologized yesterday morning to the General Assembly of the NCC, meeting this week in Atlanta, for not adequately consulting the organization or the 36 member denominations before signing the Christian Declaration on Marriage, which was released at a Washington news conference Wednesday. Edgar said several NCC members had interpreted the document, which defines marriage as "a holy union of one man and one woman," as a condemnation of same-sex unions.

The NCC is generally considered to be more liberal than the leaders of the other three organizations that signed the marriage document - the U.S. Catholic Bishops, the Southern Baptist Convention and the National Association of Evangelicals - all of which oppose same-sex unions.

The NCC - which includes the Episcopal Church, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the United Methodist Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Orthodox churches, most black Baptist groups and other churches - has taken no position on same-sex unions but has a long-standing policy advocating full civil rights for homosexuals. Its members have a range of views on sexuality, and several denominations are wrestling internally with the issue.

"A number of the NCC member communions interpret the document more as a condemnation of same-sex unions than as an affirmation of marriage," Edgar wrote to leaders of the three other groups who signed the document. "The fact that the declaration omits mention of same-sex unions is taken by some as proof that all of the signatories disapprove of such unions.

"Further, I am concerned that in our dangerously fragmented and violent society, misinterpretation of the declaration may be used by some as a pretext for attacks on gay and lesbian persons."

Richard Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention said he was "disappointed, but only mildly surprised" by Edgar's action.

"I was more surprised that he was willing to sign the document to begin with," Land said. "I didn't think I was as familiar with his constituency as he is, but I suspected that this document would be very controversial among elements of his constituents, and evidently, he thinks so now, too."

The incident shows how difficult a task Edgar has before him in implementing his plan to dissolve the NCC in favor of a new organization that would include Catholics, evangelicals and Pentecostals, none of them members of the NCC. The NCC General Assembly passed a resolution yesterday calling for a meeting of Christian denominations next year as a first step toward creating the entity.

Land, for one, remains skeptical: "If affirmation of same-sex unions is the price" for joining with the NCC's ecumenical vision, "then it's too high a price and one that won't be paid by the growing and healthy Christian communions in this millennium."
