Marriage Equality Weekend

On the weekend before New Jersey's same-sex "civil union" law took effect, St. George's hosted "Marriage Equality Weekend" as a reminder of the ultimate goal of gay New Jersey citizens (and of the straight people who cherish and support them). A concert, Love & Marriage Jazz, featuring church choir member Elaine St. George and her band, was held on Saturday night, February 17. On Sunday, February 18, Harry Knox, director of the Religion & Faith Program of the Washington D.C.-based Human Rights Campaign, spoke at a forum titled "Faith & Fairness: Finding Tools for Advocacy in Your Faith Tradition."
