This new website may or may not be of interest. It is a collection of responses by Baptists to the statment at the recent BUGB Council on 'Same Sex Marriage'. Many, but not all, the contributions are from ministers who have 'accepting ' or 'affirming' understandings. Some contributors are gay, some are straight, some are married, some are single/celibate. Some use their real names, some are anonymised. All are committed to being properly "Baptist" in this and, indeed, other matters. Whatever your own theological standpoint, it is worth reading these letters, reflections and stories from people who want to get it "right" in a way that reflects all that is good about being Baptists... and that isn't always easy.
Not afraid of elephants - and recognising that it isn't possible to eat one in a single bite!!
