"Unfortunately the church has lost its prophetic voice on this issue," said the Rev. Gregory Gross, a deacon who organized the campaign. "Our civil society has taken the lead. Now the church is trying to catch up."
I don't recall any Biblical passages 'prophesying' that gay marriages will be A-OK someday.
Now the church is trying to catch up
It's funny how these types think they are ahead on the Biblical curve. New age is old hat.
What they don't realise is that the Church is not necessarily supposed to be in step with society. In fact it follows God, if society does too, then society is in step with the Church.
Otherwise, if The Church had always tried to be in step with society, then in the 3rd - 6th centuries it would have been Arian, in the 11th-12th Gnostic, in the 1800s Christian Scientist or Jehovah's Witness.
