This Sunday 24rd March, will see the rally in Trafalgar Square to oppose the Coalition's plans to legalize so called "marriage" between people of the same sex.
I had planned to go but have been thwarted, unavoidably.
If you are able to attend it will send an almighty message to our Dear Leader and his bunch of associates.
It starts at 2pm and finishes at 5pm - this is a wonderful chance to proclaim the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman.
After all, if David Cameron gets his wicked way, we could all end up in the same boat as this clip shows:-
And a message from the organisers:

And a message from the organisers:
Dear Friends,
This is your time... your
time to make the political establishment, the media elites and the small,
well-orchestrated band of activists pushing their radical same-sex marriage
agenda on the country step back and take notice.
This is your chance ... your
chance to send the message more loudly and more clearly than ever before —
that the British people will stand up and defend marriage as the union of one
man and one woman because they know that children have a right to a mother and a
father.
This is your freedom ...
your freedom to bring the broadest coalition of marriage supporters to the
table — Protestants, Mormons, Jews, Roman Catholics, Greek and Russian Orthodox,
Muslims, Hindus and those of no religious tradition — Christian advocacy
organizations, women’s groups, those groups fighting for justice, news groups
and educational institutions — all coming together for one single
purpose:
To preserve marriage as the
union of one man and one woman!
Be a part of this growing
grassroots coalition to support this historic Rally for Marriage. Use the
freedoms of conscience and speech for which our forebears spent their very lives
so that we might live righteous lives in peace. Use them or lose
them!
No doubt many Christians,
quite rightly, are constrained by duties at their local churches and I would not
wish to take them away from that, but some might also feel that Christians
should not be involved in worldly affairs on the Lord’s day. If that were the
case, should we shut down all emergency services? Did not Christ heal on the
Sabbath?
Some might feel that we
should not be joining hands with the unsaved, least of all with those who adhere
to a faith that we deem to be anathema; but did not the good Samaritan come to
the rescue of a Jew, whilst the Pharisees passed by on the other side of the
road?
Finally, “making the most of
every opportunity, because the days are evil,” this might indeed be the
opportunity to speak to just one person about the Cross of Jesus Christ and His
saving grace.
Please support the Rally for
Marriage which has been organised by a French group, La Manif Pour Tous. They
support traditional marriage and have organised a march at the same time, in
Paris. The American people are also organising a march for marriage, two days
later on the 26th March. So join us in making this a truly
international push back against those forces that are determined to destroy our
marriages, families, children and the nation. If you wish to attend, here is
when and where to meet:
Trafalgar Square,
London
2pm-5pm Sunday 24
March

We live in a free society, with an option of secular marriage which obeys none of the norms of Christan marriage. How is it reasonable to deny to the Quakers the right to marry same-sex couples, simply because we Cathics wouldn't countenance it?
ReplyDeleteSorry 'Frederick Oakley',but you seem to be a million miles away from reality. The march is an opportunity to express opposition to the concept of same-sex marriage,an opposition based on religious grounds and on natural law, also on societal tradition from time immemorial. The fact that the Quaker 'church' has stated that it would be willing to marry same-sex couples, has no bearing whatsoever on the evil perversity of this proposed legislation. Logically, your suggestion would mean total acceptance by the Catholic Church of such evil practices as abortion, because it is a so-called 'free society'! Sorry Frederick, but your thinking is rather skewed, and if I may say so, strangely un-Catholic.
ReplyDeleteWell said Umblepie and thanks Brian.

Ches - I am totally unworthy of any award but I both accept and thank you for even considering this blog. Please forgive a slight delay before I respond to your list. Richard
ReplyDeleteVery glad to read this. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnd many thanks too for the Elton Hayes song. Nice to be reminded of how charming a man Hayes was. I remember him fondly for his delightful performance as Alan-a-Dale in the 1952 Disney ROBIN HOOD.
