“I am a Christian, and I am in favor of gay marriage,” writes law professor Mark Osler on CNN’s Belief Blog. “The reason I am for gay marriage is because of my faith.”
Osler, who worships at St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Edina, Minn., goes on to say:
“What I see in the Bible’s accounts of Jesus and his followers is an insistence that we don’t have the moral authority to deny others the blessing of holy institutions like baptism, communion, and marriage. God, through the Holy Spirit, infuses those moments with life, and it is not ours to either give or deny to others.”
