Mississippi Senate Bill 2093
Posted on: February 2, 2016
Last week, SB 2093 was introduced in the Mississippi senate. This bill is casually known as the “pastor protection” bill. Under this bill, clergy are not obligated under the law to perform a marriage ceremony for any couple whose marriage would violate the clergy’s religious belief or policy. It is interesting that our senators believe this is necessary. I do not believe that any clergy is forced to marry anyone, anywhere. Am I wrong? I know that clergy in my own community of believers (Episcopal — you know, the gay-lovers that were kicked out of the Anglican Communion last month) require couples to attend counseling and only after the clergy is satisfied will he determine to marry the couple. Pastors don’t need protection, for God’s sake!
