Seventh-day Adventist leaders said they applauded the announcement of a nominee for a religious freedom advocacy position at the U.S. Department of State, a post that has been vacant since October.

The White House today announced that Rabbi David Nathan Saperstein would be nominated to serve as Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom. Saperstein was the first chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, beginning in 1999, and the director and counsel of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, where he has served since 1974. He is also an adjunct professor of law at Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C.

BIG WHOOPS!

As feared, this man is for gay rights and other abominations:

WASHINGTON, May 15, 1996 -- Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Reform Jewish movement's Religious Action Center, today testified against H.R. 3396, an act allowing states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages, calling it "ill-advised," "unconstitutional," and "unnecessary." Saperstein, both a rabbi and attorney, served as a witness before the Constitution Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee.  

In his testimony before the subcommittee, Saperstein ridiculed the notion that same-sex marriages were a threat to family values. He asked: "how can two loving adults coming together to form a family harm family values? Are our families and marriages and communities so fragile and shallow that they are threatened by love between two adults of the same sex?"

So we have our SDA church "applauding" a man who is against marriage as God defined it. 

Let's hope the Senate doesn't confirm him.
