Calvary Baptist Church, a progressive Baptist landmark in the heart of downtown Washington, has named a gay couple as co-pastors.
Sally Sarratt and Maria Swearingen were presented to the congregation during worship services Jan. 8 and are set to begin their new jobs Feb. 26...
The 155-year-old church severed ties with the Southern Baptist Convention in 2012: It was at loggerheads with the group on several issues, including the SBC’s stance against homosexuality. Calvary Baptist still affiliates with American Baptist Churches USA...

A Mighty Fortress is our God,,,
All I got,
All I Need.
I don’t think they will be visiting my local baptist church. Just guessing.
This bothers me less than allowing any islamic POS into America to corrupt its retarded and foolish followers.
islam must be stopped and any evil “religion” like it outlawed.
Jude 1 verse 4 sums it up.
4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about[b] long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
So how does an active lesbian bring a lost soul to Jesus?
“Hey, I don’t believe God’s Word but you should if you want eternal life.”
Not sure that will work to well!
Cleanse it with fire.
Just sayin’
How is it they still get to use the term “Baptist” in their name?
Watch this space. That church will be closed within 12 months or sold as a mosque
It may be a church,
No, its not! They are not worshiping God in that building. How can you worship God when you praise and celebrate unrepentant sinners. It is led by unrepentant sinners. They are not worshiping God, they are worshiping sin.
More like a Satanic temple.
Unitarians leading the Baptist flock astray? Imagine that.
How can you be openly violating God’s law and claim to be Christian? Is there ANYTHING that would be unacceptable to them?
I guess it is the “new Christianity” where anything is acceptable.
I take it these two lovebirds have taken out select books and/or verses in the Bible so the ignorant and intellectually lazy congregation thinks it’s ‘okay’ with God.
I’ll never understand how people, mortal human beings, can flip the finger at the One who has the power over their eternal fate.
Sally and Maria will one day find out that God means business.
God will not be mocked!
Must be these two have never read a bible.
They are mocking God and I wouldn’t want to be them when they face Jesus.
They are just following Thomas Jefferson’s example. Cut out the parts of the Bible you don’t like.
American, not Southern.
Its census block group is 83% white....downtown, near the National Portrait Gallery...
Thanks to the Southern Baptist conservative resurgence in the 80’s it still does.
Unfortunately, anyone from the Westboro nut jobs to these heretics can put “baptist” in their name.
They are committing what I believe to be one of the worst of sins. They want a god who they can use. They presume God exists to serve them. They are in for a number of rude surprises.
