		<description><![CDATA[April 4, 2009 While we were sleeping, the Iowa Supreme Court unanimously overturned the state’s ban on ‘gay marriage’ on grounds that it was unconstitutional.

		<description><![CDATA[— Dr. Robert A. J. Gagnon has written an excellent article on answering five arguments for homosexuality from a  Biblical view.  This is an excellent resource for those who really desire to analytically think through the arguments for the &#8220;gay Christian&#8221; and that there is no condemnation of homosexuality.  Ministers of the Gospel of Jesus [...]]]></description>
