Fom Monday's Tribune Review.


"Marriage is a sacred union of two people who are committed to each other, without regard to gender," Janet Edwards said. "I do not feel I have done anything wrong. On the contrary, I felt I was holding up the vows of my ordination."

This is an excellent article about a local Presbyterian minister facing scrutiny for performing a wedding for two women. 

I was honored to be a guest at this wedding.  Perhaps it is the latent Catholic in me, but the wedding was sacramental and reverential and real.  It was important to me in at least a million ways.  Again, I am not particularly artful today.  I hope you'll read the article in the Trib and tune in to John McIntire's upcoming interview with Janet Edwards on KDKA.
