Be Sure to Bring Sam Adams to the Wedding
This past weekend Portland's Mayor-elect, Sam Adams, officiated a marriage for a close friend in San Francisco; it seems as though he's taken note of our Ecclesiastical Proclamation:
Sam Adams officiated the wedding of former Travel Portland head honcho Joe D’Alessandro and his partner David Jones in San Francisco.
"I knew Joe when he was straight," said Mayor-elect Sam Adams.Now he'll get to know his friend "Joe" as one-half of a married California gay couple.
On Sunday, Adams will officiate the wedding of former Travel Portland head honcho (but now the President and CEO of the San Francisco Convention & Visitor Bureau) Joe D'Alessandro and his partner David Jones who, by the way, share six kids between them.
And no it's not because he's becoming the big guy at City Hall.
It's a little known fact that Sammy has already married a straight couple, photographer Evan Pilchik and Dana Mackin, on April 6.
That was after the couple, who are friends of Adams, bought him his own Universal Life Church minister license (it's the quickie way to become a member of the clergy).
Adams, and his boyfriend, Oregonian scribe Peter Zuckerman, will jet Saturday to the "city by the bay" just in time for the boys big day. The dress code will be suits, no ties. "Very California," said Adams.
When asked if he might "charge" the two men to join in an honest-to-goodness, legal gay marriage, Adams replied: "I am extremely honored to do this for my friends. I do this stuff for free."
Congrats to Joe and David!
Best of luck to the happy couple and to Adams this January!

SINGULARITY IS NEAR – Title of book recently published by Ray Kurzweil about nations on Earth transcending their past through progression of computers toward grid system of global democracy where all people can be in tough with their leaders and each other and heal themselves into what their Scriptures prophesy. An introduction by the publisher points out that Ray Kurzweil is one of the world’s leading inventors, thinkers, and futurists, with a twenty-year track record of accurate predictions. Called “the restless genius” by THE WALL STREET JOURNAL and “the ultimate thinking machine” by FORBES MAGAZINE, Kurzweil was selected as one of the top entrepreneurs by INC. MAGAZINE, which described him as the “rightful heir to Thomas Edison.” PBS selected him as one of “sixteen revolutionaries who made America,” along with other inventors of the past two centuries. An inductee into the National Inventors Hall of Fame and recipient of the National Medal of Technology, the Lemelson-MIT Prize (the world’s largest award for innovation), thirteen honorary doctorates, and awards from three U.S. presidents, he is the author of four previous books – FANTASTIC VOYAGE: LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO LIVE FOREVER (coauthored with Terry Grossman, M. D.); THE AGE OF SPIRITUAL MEDICINES; THE 10% SOLUTION FOR A HEALTHY LIFE; and THE AGE OF INTELLIGENT MACHINES. Although his fifth book tells just how THE SINGULARITY IS NEAR, he says, “We need a new religion,” and it must come from our Creator
ORIGINAL JEWISH TEN COMMANDMENTS WITH NON-JEWISH SO CALLED FAITH-BASED EXCEPTIONS FROM THE BEDEVILING RED-LETTER EDITION OF THE CRUCIFIXIONAL GOSPELS THAT HAD BEEN CORRUPTING THE NATIONS BEFORE THEIR CREATOR SENT GABRIEL TO SHILOH WITH THE INFIXUS FOR THEIR HEALING
1
I the LORD thy God am a jealous God and thou shalt have no other gods before me except Jesus the Jew, upon whom thou shalt blame all thy sins, and whose murder thou must worship to be saved from such sins, or else go to hell
2
Thou shalt not worship any graven image except the murder weapon that manslaughtered Jesus and divided the non-Jews against the Jews who refuse to worship it sincerely
3
Thou shall not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain except to accuse God of not being intelligent enough to save non-Jews from their sins, other than by insisting they must worship the homicide of Jesus the Jew, or go to hell
4
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy except to accuse and abuse those who refuse to violate the Sixth Commandment by worshipping the murder of Jesus, one of the Jews
5
Honor thy father and thy mother except everybody’s original parents, Eve and Adam, for eating from the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden so their children, even yourself, would be able to comprehend the original Ten Commandments with the so called faith-based exceptions as here summarized
6
Thou shalt not kill except Jesus the Jew
7
Thou shalt not commit adultery except what the LORD of the Jews did to Mary without her consent while she was married to Joseph under the Jewish Ten Commandments
8
Thou shalt not steal except thou must worship how the LORD thy God stole Mary from Joseph to get her pregnant and then had the begotten of such rape tortured to death as the only image of God to be ecclesiastically recognized as a Son of God not subject to the original Ten Commandments at birth or trial so he could be punished for what he did not do and thus relieve others of accounting for violating the Ten Commandments
9
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor except to accuse and abuse those who refuse to worship the manslaugh-ter of Jesus, one of the Jews, or his birth from the rape of Mary by the LORD of the Jews, which the exceptionists call Christmas
10
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's property or wife except Joseph’s wife Mary was not included under this Commandment; so God, her rapist, could hypocritically command the Jews not to do what Godself would mock them by doing
I provide Pastoral Care Services for those that do not have a pastor or a church home. One of the services that I offer is to officiate Committment Services. There are two types of committment: 1. For those that are already married and wanting to re-committ themselves. 2. For gay couples, in Ohio this is all I can legally officiate.
I am often ask, when do you mean when you say you will officiate an "Committment Service." I say to them, the kind that you are thinking, and the same thing for married couples as well. I get such strange looks, and or conversations because of that statement. However, I've never had a gay couple ask me to officiate their service as of yet.
