Petitions in Support of Marriage

Several petitions have been launched online to provide Christians with an opportunity to register their opposition to the Government's current plans to redefine marriage so as to permit homosexuals to marry.

(1) One is from the Coalition for Marriage:

While this one is certainly "not up to concert pitch" in articulating the evangelical Protestant position, you may wish to support it on the basis that it provides a basic definition of marriage by adding your signature here:

The identification statement of the Coalition for Marriage (C4M) reads:
"The Coalition for Marriage is an umbrella group of individuals and organisations in the UK that support traditional marriage and oppose any plans to redefine it.

The Coalition is backed by politicians, lawyers, academics and religious leaders. It reaches out to people of all faiths and none, who believe that marriage is the most successful partnership in history and should not be redefined.

The Coalition draws upon a substantial body of evidence showing that marriage – as it has been understood for thousands of years – is beneficial to society, and that changing its definition would undermine that benefit.

The Coalition’s petition demonstrates that there is broad public opposition to redefining marriage. The Coalition is committed to a reasoned and courteous debate on this issue, and will highlight any intimidation or intolerance shown to supporters of traditional marriage."

(2) Another is from Christian Voice:
