SAN RAFAEL -- On Sunday, November 2nd, at 7:00 PM, leaders of diverse faith traditions invite the community to gather at First Presbyterian Church, 1510 Fifth Avenue, San Rafael for an interfaith gathering in support of same-sex marriage. Featured music will include singer and local Pastor Curran Reichert of the Community Congregational Church of Tiburon, and world-renowned musician Richard "Scrumbly" Koldewyn.
“It doesn’t matter what one’s sexual orientation is; what matters is that they are supported in their healthy, loving relationships,” says Rev. Dr. Jane Adams Spahr. “And what better place to be supported, than within their communities of faith?”
“Same-sex couples in California now have the right to marry, just as they should” says Paula Pilecki, Executive Director of Spectrum LGBT Center, which promotes equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. “Proposition 8 would eliminate that right. This event is a call to people of every faith, to say ‘No’ to injustice.”
