Same sex Marriage
And a conservative response from a pastor-friend: ~~~ I am again surprised that God’s creation mandate so clearly given in Genesis of one man and one woman for companionship, pleasure and procreation, in which together a couple display the glory of God, in whose image they are created, could ever be construed to include sexual […]
Same sex legislation: sample letter
[Australia: Federal parliament representative: July 2004] Dear sir/madam I note the decision to remit the Marriage Legislation Amendment Bill to a Senate Committee for further consideration.

Another same-sex marriages submission
[And from the liberal side of the theological spectrum]: Following on from the call to be active in making submissions into the Federal Gevernment’s Inquiry into Same-sex marriage legislation, here’s the submission I lodged.

God and Science
What function do you see God as having? Well, for a start (but only a start) he set up the rules/laws (however you like to talk/write about it) by which the universe runs. Or, as some Christians prefer to say, he decided what his normal way of doing things would be and sticks to it […]
