Broadway Baptist Insufficiently Homophobic

Yesterday, messangers at the Southern Baptist Convention expelled Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas from the SBC. There was no debate. The vote took about thirty seconds.

Boradway's offense? Publishing a church directory with pictures of the congregation socializing with gay people. Apparently, the membership of Broadway Baptist is insufficiently homophobic for Southern Baptists.

Imagine what the SBC would do with Jesus if he had published a directory with pictures of his disciples socializing with prostitutes and publicans!

One reason I left the Baptist church 23 years ago.
