I encourage all to read this excellent piece by Stephanie Coontz addressing the history of the church-state entanglement around marriage.
Have you read it yet? If not, click on the link and read it now.
Okay, have you read it now? What are you waiting for? It's a good column. Please don't continue on until you've read it.
Well, you did continue on, so I trust that you actually read the column. Stephanie Coontz is amazing.
Now, here is a letter I have penned to the editor of the NY Times in response to Coontz's piece. Yes, I was published today! Woohoo!
So, I want to know what you think. No, I am not asking what you think of my letter (I'm soliciting neither affirmations nor criticisms). I seriously want to know what you think about what Coontz has to say. I think it's a pretty good topic for dialogue. Especially among my clergy colleagues, yes?
So tell me, just who should be in the business of "sanctifying" anything?
