beloved LS photo Over at spiritualfriendship.org , Wesley Hill has offered part of his response to the SCOTUS marriage ruling. I wanted to share it here because it is nothing short of beautiful! There are those who will not see Hill’s response as beautiful, but he offers a better name and a lasting Identity, that is the true end to human loneliness.

Here is a brief quote from his article, click the link above to go to the whole thing and be blessed.

“…Unlike Jonathan Rauch and Justice Kennedy, I don’t believe husband or wife is the right name for same-sex partners.

That is the good news the church is given to proclaim, now more than ever.”
