WASHINGTON - The general secretary of the American Baptist Churches USA (ABC) urged members during their recent biennial meeting to not let division over homosexuality endanger the denomination’s future.
“The issue of homosexuality has brought us as a denomination to a crossroad in our life together,” the Rev. A. Roy Medley said in a July 1 sermon on the opening day of the three-day meeting. “One road will lead to separation. The other path will lead us to shared ministry and mission in all the theological and ethnic richness that has come to make us the unique denomination we are.”
