> Charles and  JAD,
> This matter hasd alreadybeen settled in Canada. There civil unions/ same
sex marriage is on the books but the Church has been specifically
EXCLUDED from participation unless they so desire. here the erroneous
but commonly believed 'separation of Church and State' will serve the
Church well. I do not expect any kind of difficulty. Further I doubt the
thing will pass the 2/3 needed to move it forward in the constitutional
process. This is all electioneering to 'energise' the rightwing neocon
Fundamentalist 'base'. for November. Ascension tide blessings. GDVW+
