Ethics Daily has posted an outstanding essay by Christa Brown that asks "
Would Tyler Clementi Be Loved by SBC Churches?" Brown takes Al Mohler and Southern Baptists to task for their failure to match words with deeds in regard to homosexuals:
It is good for Mohler to talk about how churches should show love to gay people. But first things first. Before Southern Baptists can become more loving in their interactions with gay people in their midst, they must start by allowing gay people to come into their midst – and by welcoming them just as they are, as children of God.
No one is asking Southern Baptists to lie about their beliefs. But an essential first step for churches that want to show Christian care to gay people is to open their doors to gay people.
