I would wait for an official statement from the church, or a group of leaders, rather than the opinion of one man; to determine its stance on homosexuality. Very good on him for speaking out though.

Thank you Ben 🙂

As a transgender woman I am interested to know where we fit into all this…..I am going to a church in west melbourne and their mission statement reads like this..".The footscray Baptist church celebrates the God given diversity of cultures.We welcome you to join us in the journey of faith whatever your race,religion,capability,gender or sexuality" and I think that sames it up quite well… Why has the Church taken so long to get passed all this P.C.B.S……I am very happy and made welcome at this church, so you can be GLBTI and still have a relationship with God…..And I hope and pray that more Churches do the same and realize we are normal people with the same everyday problem as everyone have….H

All strength to Footscray Baptist- I know there are other Baptist churches in Melbourne who take a similar position. Unfortunately here in Perth no Baptist church has been brave enough to take this step, but it will come! I believe that the Holy Spirit is leading the church into new understandings of the gospel of grace.
