The Rev. Mark Alan Lewis and the Rev. K. Dennis Winslow, Episcopal priests, were joined in civil union on Tuesday. The Rev. Tim S. Hall, also an Episcopal priest, officiated at the couple’s home in Union City, N.J., assisted by his wife, the Rev. Jacqueline Schmidt.
Mr. Lewis (above, left), 47, is the vicar at the Episcopal Church of our Saviour in Secaucus, N.J. Mr. Winslow, 57, is the rector of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in New York.

The couple met 15 years ago this week, shortly after Mr. Lewis moved to New Jersey.
Mr. Lewis didn’t find the idea of dating another priest unusual or enticing, so when a friend in New York volunteered to introduce him to Mr. Winslow, he had little interest. “It wasn’t, ‘Oh, what a rare bird, I must see it,’ ” Mr. Lewis said. He added, “I was assuming he would be pious and narrow-minded.”
But six months later, he happened to drop by the same friend’s home in New York when Mr. Winslow was visiting. “I did a complete thunderbolt thing,” Mr. Winslow said.
“Our eyes met from across the apartment,” Mr. Lewis said. “We have been together since that day.”
In 2002, they became the lead plaintiffs in the Lambda Legal lawsuit challenging the marriage laws in New Jersey.

Mr. Lewis compared joining the lawsuit to his decision to become a priest. “I heard the same voice in my head saying here’s a job that needs to be done, and I can do it,” he said.

Bump to you, sir.
I guess he flew to his side and made him his own.
Where’s the picture? I looked (above, left) at the link and saw nothing.
What kind of New York Times Society Page article is that? Probably some homophobic editor in the NYT newsroom removed the picture of the happy couple. Yes, that’s it.
Nothing in the story suggests it was. He seems to substitute some vague "Us" in the place of God.
“I say over and over again to couples, ‘Please don’t let us down. You’ve made these promises to us in public. Keep those promises.’ And that’s what we intend to do.”
“I heard the same voice in my head saying here’s a job that needs to be done, and I can do it,” he said.
