It would seem that this will be a wonderful couple to have input at the Synod. They plan to pray and fast in preparation. ;-)

A synod /ˈsɪnəd/ historically is a council of a church, usually convened to decide an issue of doctrine, administration or application. In modern usage, the word often refers to the governing body of a particular church, whether its members are meeting or not. It is also sometimes used to refer to a church that is governed by a synod.

The word "synod" comes from the Greek "σύνοδος" (synodos) meaning "assembly" or "meeting", and it is synonymous with the Latin word "concilium" meaning "council". Originally, synods were meetings of bishops, and the word is still used in that sense in Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. Sometimes the phrase "general synod" or "general council" refers to an ecumenical council.

The main enemy of marriage and the natural family today is the State. The income tax, estate taxes, subsidies for illegitimacy, and government schooling are the chief mechanisms by which the modern State attacks the natural order.

If the Synod does not condemn all of these, it will be a waste of time and money.

If it were possible to get rid of income taxes, estate taxes, subsidies for illegitimacy, and government schooling, the legalization of “gay marriage” would be a laughable sideshow affecting practically no one.
