" On this Sunday’s "State of Belief," The Interfaith Alliance Foundation’s show on Air America Radio, Rev. Welton Gaddy talks with the president of the Unitarian Universalist Association and hears from grassroots religious leaders about the Federal Marriage Amendment. ....snip........
. The amendment has been called a “partisan tool” in election year politics as the Administration panders to its radical religious right base. Many people say the amendment writes discrimination into the Constitution without cause. One of those people is the Rev. Bill Sinkford, president of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
“This is not an arbitrary or theoretical discussion,” Sinkford says. “This is about real human beings.”
Sinkford has performed many same-sex marriages in his church and remembers the first one with pride.
“My overriding feeling was one of joy as it is with the celebration of any couple,” Sinkford says. “ pose no threat to other marriages and they pose no threat to the institution of marriage.”
Three grassroots clergy speak about coming to Washington, D.C. last week to talk to their senators about the amendment. Rev. Steve Copley, Rabbi Eugene Levy and Rev. Betty McCollum talk about the reasons many clergy do not support this amendment.

State of Belief explores the intersection of religion with politics, culture, media, and activism. Through interviews with newsmakers and celebrities, reports from the field, and his own commentary, Welton shows how religion and radical freedom are best friends and how the religious right is wrong – wrong for America and bad for religion."
