US Antiochians pass resolution against US Supreme Court

  • NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, this 51st Archdiocesan Convention, duly assembled at Houston, Texas, from July 21-28, 2013, resolves through the hierarchy, clergy and laity of the Antiochian Christian Orthodox Archdiocese of North America: that the Holy Orthodox Church cannot and will not bless “same sex” unions of any degree. It is further resolved that marriage between a man and a women is a Sacramental Union ordained by God, homosexual unions are not. Like adultery and fornication, homosexual acts are condemned by Scripture (Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10). However, this being said, we must stress that a person with a homosexual orientation is to be cared for with the same mercy and love that is bestowed by our Lord Jesus Christ upon all sinners. All persons are called by God to strive toward holiness.

Lord have mercy.

Is this the only church to have passed such a resolution against unholy "same-sex marriages?"

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
