Very misleading headline. Nothing has changed.
“Very misleading headline. Nothing has changed.”
The article is referencing a conference that was held in April. Here is an article from The Blaze on the conference:
“At a panel discussion Monday night, five pastors spoke to faith leaders affiliated with the denomination, delivering some very specific pieces of advice when it comes to handling homosexuality.
“Those on the panel told pastors to ‘stop spreading falsehoods,’ and to consider becoming friends with gay people regardless of whether Christians believe their sexuality aligns with the Bible, according to Nashville Public Radio.
“’We’ve run off at the mouth, said things we shouldn’t have said. We’ve run around like a peacock all over the platform,’ said Pastor Greg Belser of Morrison Heights Baptist Church in Clinton, Miss. ‘We have said things because we were playing to the home team, and they all liked our act. On this issue, nobody likes our act, except the redneck factor.’”
I figure that the SBC would have to start pushing the usual liberal precursor a/k/a the ordination of females prior to acceptance of homosexuality in their churches. Unless of course there are some Baptists who support homosexuality yet believe ordination should be limited only to males.
