W.V. Convention of Southern Baptists call for marriage amendment

The Family Policy Council of WV reports:

The West Virginia Convention of Southern Baptists passed a resolution Friday calling on their membership to support a marriage protection amendment to the West Virginia Constitution. The group passed the resolution on the first day of its annual meeting in Parkersburg.

“West Virginians want to define marriage for themselves,” said Jeremy Dys, president and general counsel of the Family Policy Council of West Virginia. “They do not want government setting a policy – and they especially do not want a court imposing a system – that knowingly deprives children of a mom or a dad.” . . .
