Ireland’s vote for marriage is great news for Christians

The Irish people have voted to keep marriage as the legal foundation for families and society. Christians should draw encouragement from this, says the Evangelical Alliance’s Nick Park

Journalists and politicians alike were caught by surprise at the news the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland has resigned. 

Following a defeat for the government in a double referendum on constitutional changes, Leo Varadkar declared that he was no longer the best person to ensure the government’s re-election.

The first referendum proposed changing the pivotal role of marriage as the foundation for family and society. The idea was to replace marriage with “durable relationships” (whatever that means).
