In reply to Bonnie Wilcox.

Bonnie, our congregations are fearing the repercussions of a possible June ruling on this. How is it a poor reflection on Christ's body for the leader of our church to give us comfort and reassurance in hard times? Paul did that. John did that.

I for one, am thankful Pastor Harrison wrote this letter. This issue is front and center on my mind as we enter "wedding season" (aka, summer!). Will I be able to continue to perform weddings, or will I have to give it up so as to protect my congregation and my own family from lawsuits claiming hate crimes and discrimination (it's already happening in this nation...)? Will I have the privilege and joy of performing my own daughter's wedding some day, or will that be taken from me? It's not fear-mongering, it's legitimate concern. And there are many of us who are deeply appreciative that Pastor Harrison and his group are doing the research that we are not capable of.
