Marriage Equality Affirms Basic Human Rights

Golden, CO…Centers for Spiritual Living, a trans-denominational spiritual organization that has been in existence for over eighty years, today affirmed its view that marriage equality is not about politics, but rather about basic human rights.

Rev. Dr. Kenn Gordon, Spiritual Leader of Centers for Spiritual Living, said, “We support marriage equality. We consider marriage equality a human right and see it, therefore, not as a political question but as a spiritual one.”

Centers for Spiritual Living teaches that there is an essential unity underlying all apparent differences, and consequently honors all faiths, understanding that each religion has a golden thread of truth. “We believe that love is the foundation of all major religious philosophies, and therefore we support the expression of love in same-sex couples and the right of same-sex couples to marry,” says Gordon.

Centers for Spiritual Living welcomes gays and lesbians into their spiritual centers. “We endeavor to get to the spiritual truth of the matter and through that lens we see that marriage equality is about human and civil rights.”

Centers for Spiritual Living is a global organization that provides spiritual tools to transform personal lives and help make the world a better place. Centers for Spiritual Living has over 250,000 members worldwide.
