CLGS offers the resources, tools, programs and events for sorting through these complex issues with clarity. To that end, and as the debate on same-sex marriage continues to expand and percolate throughout our society, CLGS is pleased to announce the formation of a Marriage/Civil Unions Resource center on this website. These resources,suitable for both academic and faith communities, for lay people and interested representatives of the media,will range from the academic (historical, theological, and ethical) to the practical (liturgies of civil union, sermons and denominational statements).
The topic of same-sex marriage will likely remain controversial for quite some time, not in the least for many lesbian and gay people themselves. As we produce and collect resources on this topic, CLGS will respect the wide range of opinions at work in this debate and the diversity of opinion about it within communities of faith and LGBT communities alike. We will, however, continue to insist on working for the full inclusion of lesbian and gay couples in the civil benefits and responsibilities of marriage as a matter of social justice.
Look for the launch of this Resources Project soon, or sign-up to receive our e-mail updates and you'll be sure to know when these resources are available.
