What happened at Lambeth?

If you want to know what happened in Canterbury during the Lambeth Conference, you can:

 

Petition to Win Marriage Back

EQCA is already crunching numbers and doing extensive research to determine what election and what ballot language would give us the best chance to win marriage back.

We need to have a grassroots army ready to hit the streets if we are unsuccessful in court. 

 

Thank you to all who have already signed up to carry petitions to qualify a new initiative to win marriage back. If you haven’t already, sign the petition now at www.eqca.org/petition. And please forward this call to action on to everyone you know.
