Arkansas Church Revokes Gay Man's Membership

[LiberalArkie]

A young Arkansas man says his church membership was revoked after revealing he is gay.

Dylan Settles said he once called Woods Chapel General Baptist Church in Brookland home, but not anymore.

"I'm a little hurt by it, but I know how they feel," said Settles.

Settles said over the weekend, he got an unexpected letter from his church.

3. Yes, of course. Those good Christian people of that

church must be patting each other on the back for being so religious.

4. Well, back when I was a Baptist one of my favorite songs was--

"They Will Know We are Christians By Our Love." It was in a minor key, and the words really got to me. Took a long time for me to come to terms with how untrue those words were. Looks like things haven't changed, at least in this particular Baptist church, or, sadly, in many others I know of, which is why I'm now a lapsed Baptist. All I can say is, shame on the members of Woods Chapel General Baptist Church. They really need a massive dose of God's grace delivered with a heavy hand. Just MHO.
