The word "Christan" keeps being thrown around like there is unanimity among the the "Christian" groups.

But the truth is that the Anglicans have been ordaining practicing homosexuals for years and has even elevated them to the level of Bishop.

There was a piece on 60 minutes about a year ago in which the Baptists have ordained women and are officiating at same sex unions.

Some Baptists may have done so but there is no such thing as THE Baptists. Baptist churches are by definition autonomous so any Baptist church can be as liberal or conservative as it wants to be. That’s why you can find Baptists all over the spectrum from to the left of Jesse Jackson all the way to the right of the late Jerry Falwell.

As a note, please do not lump together "Baptists" as being monolithic in doctrine as is the Roman Catholic manifestation. There are many kinds of (ana)baptists, whose only complete uniformity in practices is that they are (1) not paedobaptisers and (2) they are immersionists.

One subgroup, the independent, fundamental, Bible-believing New Testament immersionist confessors never has contemplated a polity of women or Sodomite pastors; nor of marriages of the plural or same-sex variety (and usually not of the remarriage adultery sort, either).

And as Paul himself said - “expel the immoral brother”.

Not Southern Baptists! We stand by the Word of God that homosexuality is an abomination.
