"It's a shame as Georgia Baptists that we have to hear of people performing same-sex marriages (in Baptist churches),'' said the Rev. Frank Page, pastor at
Warren Baptist in Augusta, Georgia. With that assertion, Dawn can whole-heartedly agree-- but for perhaps slightly different reasons than Brother Frank.
Less communion can be found with the Rev. J. Gerald Harris, the Southern Baptists' new president, however. "The unanimous verdict of scripture is that
practicing homosexuality is a sin," said Harris. Love... must not compromise the church's allegiance to scripture." Indeed! How would Jesus feel seeing his name associated with
a church that values love over dogmatic text?
