Baptists ban gays from churches [View All]

[Alcibiades]

Fail to onotice that most gays, other than self-loathing closet cases, have already banned themselves.

This looks like the new direction for Baptist congregations, and possibly for evangelical Christianity as a whole. I'd think that gay Baptists would be as rare as black Klansmen, but you never know--look at the Log Cabin Republican group.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The Baptist State Convention of North Carolina voted Tuesday to cut ties with congregations that affirm or approve of homosexuality, formally adopting a rigid anti-gay policy that allows the group to investigate whether member churches are gay friendly.....

The vote changes the convention's long-standing laws, which previously only required its members to support the convention through cooperation and financial contributions. Now any churches that "knowingly act to affirm, approve, endorse, promote, support or bless homosexual behavior" will be barred from membership.
