Calvary Baptist Church, a progressive Baptist landmark in the heart of downtown Washington, has named a gay couple as co-pastors.

They are just going out if their way to mock God. These people and their congregation are intentionally making every effort to undermine and denigrate Christians and Christianity. There are levels of Hell and they would be better off sticking to their bath houses and bedrooms.
Now, when are we going to see lesbian/gay pastors leading a Muslim congregation. Never, becuse God isn’t there to be mocked.
The church as a whole decided to break away. Now they’ve added the finishing touch to their new rainbow church. Many smiles will be knock off besides those two women.
It’s a false church.
Baptist Church?
Has anyone told them THEY’RE DOING IT WRONG! Congregants might as well just stay home and read chick tracts.
There are whole passages in the Bible that’ll never show up in “sermons” given by these two. How can any Christian take them seriously?
Married heterosexual couple to lead anything.
Too much wrong in the title to clear up.
Whatever happened to Morals?
Oh yeah, the church ignore morals so as to get donations.
The almighty dollar is the real church.
At this rate, the next “frontier” the Wash. Post will gush over will be a father and son/daughter, mother and son/daughter, or sister/brother couple who get “married” and assume the leadership position in that “church”. I give it about 15 years.
No “church”, that.
Gonna take a lot of those who hate to part with their own money to keep it funded....
...or Episcopalians...the first queer church.
It is also not a church preaching God’s Word, following the Bible or following Jesus, regardless of what the church members express or say. False Gods. Special seats in Hell are reserved for those who lead others astray, away from God’s Word.
You beat me to it.

It’s the closest “Baptist” church to the White House, around 8th & H Sts NW.
