Organizations Unite to Defend<br />
traditional Marriage<br />
Leaders issue an open letter regarding marriage and religious<br />
freedom.<br />
Leaders from a variety of denominational backgrounds issued an open letter<br />
defending marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The letter also warns<br />
that redefining marriage threatens religious freedom and the common good.<br />
Presiding Bishop Ronald Carpenter, Sr., was among those leaders who signed the<br />
letter.<br />
Carpenter says it is important for the IPHC to join the effort to protect the sanctity<br />
of marriage because it is the key to “providing a safe environment for the birthing and<br />
nurturing of children, that they may grow to make a positive contribution to the civility<br />
of society.”<br />
The letter was also signed by Leith Anderson, president of the National Association<br />
of Evangelicals; Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of<br />
Catholic Bishops; and H. David Burton, presiding bishop of the <strong>Church</strong> of Jesus Christ<br />
of Latter-day Saints.<br />
