The Rev. George Welzbacher, pastor at St. John of St. Paul, says the Bible supports the idea of marriage between a man and woman, and from the pulpit on Sunday he has encouraged his congregation to vote yes on th amendment.

Welzbacher said he's concerned that if the court system was to declare same-sex marriage to be legally valid that he and other unwilling clergy could be eventually forced to preside at same-sex marriages.

"It's [marriage between a man and woman] the best way of creating the next generation," Welzbacher said. "It's the social imperative."
