Church groups form marriage coalition

In an unprecedented show of unity, several major church demoninations of various racial diversities have formed a joint coalition to advance traditional marriage and push for the passage of a Federal Marriage Amendment.

With the recent striking down of Georgia's marriage amendment, passed by 78% of the voters by an activist judge, the critical need for a federal amendment is both clear and convincing more than ever.

Members of the newly formed Religious Coalition for Marriage are:

Presbyterian Church of America

Church of God in Christ

American Anglicans

Latter Day Saints

National Association of Evangelicals

Southern Baptist Convention

Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod

The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference

United Methodist Church

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)

Orthodox Christian Church
