Rev. Gene Dyszlewski, an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and chair of the Rhode Island Religious Coalition for Marriage Equality, released the following statement in response to the endorsement of marriage equality by the Board of Rabbis of Greater Rhode Island
“We welcome the Board of Rabbis of Greater Rhode Island to our broad and growing coalition of leaders and laypeople from a diverse group of faith traditions,” said Rev. Dyszlewski. “The Board is absolutely right – our shared belief that we are created in the image and likeness of God obligates us to fight for access to the unique protection and recognition of civil marriage for all loving, committed couples in Rhode Island. I am grateful for the Board’s support and look forward to working together on this critical issue.”
