News from the Vermont Conference
News from the Vermont Conference
Faith should be a tool for love, not exclusion.
Faith should be a tool for love, not exclusion.
Recently, Proposal 4 (the Equal Protection of Law Amendment) passed the Vermont Legislature with a strong majority. This amendment simply guarantees that no Vermonter can be denied equal protection under the law based on race, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
Disappointingly, a minority of lawmakers voted against it—and at least one voice even used their interpretation of the Bible to justify denying these human rights.
As the Justice and Witness Ministries Committee of the Vermont Conference UCC, we strongly disagree. We believe the biblical mandate is clear: all people are created by a loving God and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
We are finalizing a public letter responding to this actions, and we are inviting our wider community to stand with us.
