    Questions and Answers - Lee Vayle 28 Sep 1991 Questions and Answers 1 Shall we pray. Heavenly Father, we're glad we can sing that song that "All things are possible, now that You're here." We know that there's shortly coming a time when they're going to say, "Save us from the wrath of the Lamb." They're going to be fearful, crying for the rocks and the mountains to fall on them. But now, Lord, You at the door drawing us with loving kindness and bringing us by Your Word into captivity, to that life which is our life now, the life of the church which is Christ and not ourselves. It is passed, we know, out of our hands, Lord, into Your hands when the final days of redemption are here. We appreciate that, but we know we don't appreciate as we ought to. Help us to, Lord, become very, very serious and sober in all ways. And help us to be very objective concerning people, but very subjective concerning You and the Word. Knowing, Lord, that You alone know who are Bride. And as Your own Word said, the foundation of God standeth sure having this seal: "The Lord knoweth them which are His." And we might not understand that or all it means, though we do understand that You know Your own, and You are known of them, Lord, and they follow. And we believe this in Your complete power and possession, where it belongs. We praise You tonight. Help us, O God, whatever we have need of, which really we know to be the Truth and the life of the Truth.

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmborj THE "DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT" AND AUTHORITARIAN MORALITY Alec Walen" The "Defense of Marriage Act" has defined marriage at the federal level for the purpose of denying recognition to same-sex marriages.It there- by perpetuates the unequal treatment of homosexuals, and does so by deny- ing them a fundamental right-the right to marry. In this Essay, Dr. Walen examines the wide range of justifications offered in Congress for this law. Six categories of argument are assessed: (1) politics and economics, (2) history and tradition, (3) religion, (4) the essential nature of marriage and the family, (5) social.decay, and (6) morality. Walen concludes that none of the justificationsprove to be adequate to deny homosexuals equal access to the institution of marriage.In addition, he argues that they point to a moral rigidity that distorts one's perception of what it means to be a homosexual. Walen concludes that this rigidity or authoritarianismproduces a form of intolerance incompatible with our professed commitment to political equality and to protecting basic rights and liberties.
