Twin Cities Friends Meeting stops signing civil marriage certificates for 3 years

Twin Cities Friends Meeting has approved a new minute on marriage equality. The minute is presented in full over at Liz Opp's blog. There's also an interview on Minnesota Public Radio with the Clerk of the Meeting.

The minute is powerful; doubly so, with the bits and pieces I know about the process behind it and the path by which the Meeting came to unity.

Blessed be.

From the interview:

St. Paul, Minn. — A group of Twin Cities Quakers has decided to stop signing marriage certificates for opposite-sex couples until the state legalizes gay marriage.

"We're simply trying to be consistent with the will of God as we perceive it," said Paul Landskroener, clerk of the Twin Cities Friends Meeting, in an interview with MPR's All Things Considered on Monday.
