This summer I was privileged to perform a civil union service for two men. Both of their parents gave unqualified approval, with the mothers signing the covenant. Seldom have I experienced any service with so much satisfaction during my pastoral ministry. Thanks to Jim Wallis for his column “Equal Protection—for All” (September-October 2013) reminding us that love of one another is shown in justice for all.
