"We are grateful for faithful commissioners in Pittsburgh who spoke and voted to uphold the marriage of man and woman. Once again, the PCUSA General Assembly has stepped back from the precipice of redefining marriage. The revisionists' victory, it turns out, is not the inevitability that they boasted. "Yet the closeness of the vote warns us against complacency. The debate on marriage is far from over. There will be study, dialogue, and new overtures in local churches and presbyteries over the next two years. We know we will face the same debate in 2014 and beyond. Faithful Presbyterians must be ready to engage that debate, with truth and grace, over the long haul. "In adopting this Pittsburgh Declaration, we vow to resist the ongoing attempt to redefine Christian marriage. We commit ourselves to a new Marriage Initiative to restore a biblical understanding of marriage in our church and culture, so that men, women, and children may flourish."
