<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello all,</div><div><br></div><div>It's been noted that during the Q&A sessions at church visits, Bishop John is reluctant to discuss his personal views and reasons for his opposition to same-sex marriage. However, below is a well-written Out&About article from this past June, and at the bottom it links to the theological argument for our bishop's opposition (with 3 other authors) to the same-sex marriage proposals at the 2012 General Convention, entitled "Marriage in Creation and Covenant: A Response to the Task Force on the Study of Marriage"</div><div><p><a href="https://www.outandaboutnashville.com/story/nashville-bishop-leads-charge-against#.VmhaRNh0yig">https://www.outandaboutnashville.com/story/nashville-bishop-leads-charge-against#.VmhaRNh0yig</a><br></p><div>I'll never forget in 2012 I was at Disney World with family and while waiting in line for a ride I (unfortunately) decided to read some news coming from General Convention. I remember feeling very hurt while reading this essay(way to ruin the Disney magic!). I knew that our bishop was against the proposals for same-sex marriage, but I had now idea he was a leader of the opposition. </div><div><br></div><div>Hope this is helpful.</div><div><br></div></div><div>Thanks,</div><div class="gmail_signature"><div>- Nathaniel Hudson</div><div><br></div></div>
