Washington, DC — As the Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments on marriage next week, religious and political leaders representing Evangelicals, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Jewish communities pledge their unity to stand in solidarity for marriage and the family. The “Marriage Pledge” declares the following:

We stand united together in defense of marriage. Make no mistake about our resolve. While there are many things we can endure, redefining marriage is so fundamental to the natural order and the common good that this is the line we must draw and one we cannot and will not cross.

Deacon Keith Fournier, Rev. Rick Scarborough, Mat Staver, Janet Boynes, Bishop E.W. Jackson, and Bishop Harry Jackson pledged solidarity for marriage at the National Press Club today. The religious leaders agree, “As people of faith we pledge obedience to our Creator when the State directly conflicts with higher law. We respectfully warn the Supreme Court not to cross this line.” 

This the most divisive and culturally destructive issue to face America since the Supreme Court’s abortion decision in Roe v. Wade. The difference between the Supreme Court’s 1973 abortion decision in Roe v. Wade and this one is the coercive nature of it. As horrific as Roe v. Wade is, that Supreme Court decision did not force people to participate in abortion. A decision that says same-sex marriage is a constitutional right will result in coercion against religious freedom and conscience rights. 

Sign the pledge. Read our news release for more details, and then head over to our Facebook page to let us know what you think.
