Alliance of Baptists President Michael Castle said March 25 he will ask the leaders at the progressive fellowship's upcoming annual gathering to consider moving the 2017 annual meeting away from North Carolina in light of a new state law that bars municipalities from enacting LGBT protections.

Castle, senior pastor of Harmony Creek Church in Dayton, Ohio, said he will ask the Alliance board of directors and Alliance community when they meet April 8-10 in St. Louis whether they should move next year's meeting in Raleigh, N.C., "as an act of protest and solidarity with justice organizations, religious communities and businesses who are rising up to say 'no' to discrimination, fear and hate."

A voice of reason crying out in the wilderness! Though I can't imagine this group has too many members but it's good to see some progressives in the Baptist faith!

It's always good to remember that we have friends as well as enemies in the most unlikely places. I was astounded at the friendly, accepting welcome I get at work from people at work who are fundamentalist, poor, and poorly educated. Many of them are even Republicans!

I have some wonderful christian religious friends who assume trans and gay are lifestyle choices and don't understand how God could have made us this way. The same people have told me my personal relationship with Christ is more important than the bible. That's how I know I'm ok with God- my personal relationship with Christ.

Anyone who thinks being gay is a lifestyle choice must be somewhat gay themselves.

I'm not certain of their psychology. I always wondered is because they see it as some threat to human breeding and evolution.
