Here are a couple of articles and web pages that I invite you to read in the immediate aftermath of California's Supreme Court decision to define same-sex unions as marriage.

Theologian Vigen Guroian - has an article on Marriage and the family - I have it, but no permission to post. You may search him out on the web or follow this article and links:

Of course, the web is full of different places, people and organizations that are addressing the ruling. It is only a matter of time before the ancient Armenian Church will have to open this closet door and its important that its statement and ruling reflect the full love of God in accordance with the ancient teaching and Holy Canons. It won't be easy. But with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will be able to say, Amen.
