The work of a few dedicated individuals

Today I would just like to give a heads up to some of the excellent work being done in the Spirit of Truth Community.

First off can I point out that Minnesotans United for All Families has shared Grant's first video on their Facebook page and it is getting a good amount of traffic so maybe we can start having a new conversation in MN about what we want out of marriage.

I know Grant put a lot of work into these videos and I am really looking forward to the discussions that follow as we take a look at what the Bible really says (and doesn't say) about marriage.

I have been sitting next to another one of our leaders (Ben) for the past few hours as he has been enthusiastically (and quite loudly) adding, manipulating and editing pictures and videos and text fonts for a brand new home base on the webpage. 

I think the new homepage brings out the action based approach of SoT, and Ben's energy in this project will be deeply appreciated as we move forward in our campaign for Marriage Equality in MN. 

Check Back soon for more updates!

Traditional Marriage? series

This is the first in a video series with Pastor Grant Stevensen of Spirit of Truth Faith Community. The Series will look at some of the pivotal stories in the Bible (Old and New Testament) to figure out what "traditional Biblical Marriage" really is and whether this is the standard we want to look to for our marriages today.

Cartoons for you!

Governor rejects ALEC Template Bills

What is ALEC?

ALEC is the organization that is pushing legislation through states all over the country. Most recently in MN many of the major constitutional  amendments (check out more here)  proposed have been ALEC written or are based on ALEC prewritten legislation.

I think we can all agree that we don't need corporations running our state.

Some good links from the Spirit of Truth community

I also highly suggest this website which was brought to my attention by the same member. 

It is at times very educational, at other times extremely moving.

The news of the week.

Washington State Legalizes Gay Marriage

Prop 8 gets another look, Judges say its not constitutional

With all the headlines of victory this week, its easy to get a little frustrated with our state.

In MN gay marriage isn't legal and the fight for marriage equality is on the defensive, still it is good to see that throughout our country and throughout the world there is momentum for marriage equality.

This picture has been floating around the internet lately...

I think it is interesting to see that same sex marriage is legal in South Africa a country where not too long ago the brutal segregationist policy of Apartheid existed. 

If a country can evolve that far in such a short period of time, perhaps we can all move forward with the right effort?
