		<description><![CDATA[This has been my concern all along&#8230;what will a same sex marriage ruling mean to religious institutions? When our forefathers created the country, they worried about religion infringing on the state. Today, the worry is exactly the opposite.

Iowa&#8217;s supreme court has ruled that its constitutional guarantee of &#8220;equal protection&#8221; for all people requires the state to recognize same-sex marriage. The court overturned a law passed in 1998.
In a democratic system such as ours, [...]]]></description>

The gay marriage fight in Massachusetts may not be over after all.
