Many pastors and church leaders have questions about whether their church can promote Amendment 2 and encourage their church members to vote YES to marriage between a man and a woman. The answer is YES! Pastors can legally promote, teach on, educate and encourage their church members to vote yes on 2. In short, church and pastors can not support or endorse candidates, but they can support, promote and endorse issues such as amendment 2.
