Southern Baptist Convention leaders
say they will pursue their fight against what they call the
"homosexual agenda."
The convention already has a position statement that says
homosexuality is a sin. But convention leaders are concerned about
efforts to legalize gay marriage, a recent Texas court decision
that essentially legalized sodomy, and the ordination of a gay
Episcopalian bishop.
Richard Land of the convention`s ethics and religious liberties
commission says a formal "declaration on marriage" will be issued
later this month.
Land says the group wants to make sure there is no confusion
about what the Bible says.
The Southern Baptist Convention and other conservative groups
are trying to make gay marriage a top issue in next year`s
elections. They support an amendment to the US Constitution to
define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
