„We think it is an offense. The decision made by the Church is not Christian, we do not want to have anything to do with it,“ said Tomas Sernas, general superintendent of the Lithuanian Evangelical Reformist Church.
In his words, the Lithuanian Evangelical Reformist Church this year approved a canon on marriage and divorce.
Sernas, a former customs officer who was the only survivor of the 1991 Medininkai checkpoint massacre, said the Soviet occupation may have been a good sense in this respect.
„It may have been a good thing that we were occupied by the Soviets and did not undergo theological and other types of development with the Western world. It is hard for them to go back, their attitude is different. We see good and very bad things in the development of the Western world. We do not want to repeat their mistakes,“ Sernas said.
