The North Carolina Baptist State Convention is booting out 4 churches because they are unwilling to forgo welcoming gay people into their congregations.
"The decisions came as a result of the convention's move in 2006 to cut ties with congregations that affirm homosexuality or that are aligned with organizations that convention officials view as affirming homosexuality.
The November vote changed the convention's bylaws, which had initially required member churches only to support the entity through partnerships and financial donations. But under the new policy, churches that "knowingly act to affirm, approve, endorse, promote, support or bless homosexual behavior" will lose membership."

What do you think of the Baptists taking this one issue as the only unforgivable heresy?
