A Solution For Hitching Post Situation?
In the Coeur d’Alene Press today, Pastor Chuck Wilkes of Hayden’s True North Church offered a possible solution to the controversy
involving Lake City’s Hitching Post:
“The simple solution for the Hitching Post is to withdraw from operating as an agent of the state and to limit itself to conducting religious weddings only. As such, an entirely different legal process comes into play. Many countries follow this process… churches conduct religious ceremonies, civil authorities conduct legal ceremonies. The Hitching Post could simply conduct a religious ceremony for anyone it chooses (or doesn’t choose) and then refer the bride and groom across the street for a civil ceremony.”
