In a recent conversation an elderly, alert, devout
churchman was arguing that there seems little reason
why clergy would follow the state's rules in regard to
marriage.  He was arguing that the Church should
witness marriage covenants, but that we have little in
common with the state in this regard and should
consider whether we really want to be agents of the
state.  

What do you think?
