Dear Editor:

I want to compliment Michael Neubert on his Viewpoint on Friday's Church and World. I think he is clear and he is right on. Marriage is between a man and a woman. I cannot think of it any other way.

Once while playing golf with some friends from the UCC I was asked what I thought of "gay marriage." In the middle of a golf round is hardly the place for serious theological discussion so while lining up a putt I quipped, "Well, 'gay marriage' is like 'military intelligence' or 'independent presbyterian.' They are all oxymorons." My comment was met with silence except for one fellow who said, "No!"

I missed the putt.

Peace!
