A Hard Right Opposition Against the Federal Marriage Amendment
In DO WE NEED A FEDERAL MARRIAGE AMENDMENT?, brought to my attention by A conservative blog for peace, author Thomas Fleming argues against a federal marriage amendment essentially by saying we should change the culture first and advising us to nolite confidere in principibus, "put not your trust in princes."
While I disagree with Fleming's argument, I was happy to see him include the church of my childhood and youth, the Missouri Synod Lutherans, icluded with Catholics, Wisconsin Synod Lutherans, Reformed Presbyterians, and Southern Baptists as the "Christian Churches that still exist."

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
