“Adventists Against Prop 8″ is an initiative by a small group of Adventist pastors, teachers and students in California who decided, out of their commitment to the historic Adventist principle of the separation of church and state, to voice their concerns about (1) the Seventh-day Adventist Church State Council’s public support of California Proposition 8 and (2) the imposition of a fundamentally religious definition of marriage that this Proposition represents.
