Two pastors debated the merits of gay marriage Friday.
The debate, held in the Moore Hall Kiva between the Rev. Denis Heames of St. Marys University Parish Catholic church, 1405 S. Washington St., and the Rev. Wayne Nicholson of St. Johns Episcopal Church, 206 W. Maple St., emphasized the diverse opinions held on the subject in the Mount Pleasant community and also within a Christian context.
Heames, who represented the Catholic Church in the debate, said the churchs position, as well as his, is that gay marriage should not be accepted by society because he believes it redefines marriage in a way unaligned with Gods teachings.
He discussed his stay in California during his early adulthood, where he met and knew homosexual people and couples.
