Baptist Pass Resolutions on Gay Marriage and Evangelism

(Phoenix-AP) -- The Southern Baptist Convention has
approved resolutions denouncing same-sex marriage while
expressing concern for people with AIDS.
The nation's largest Protestant denomination also asserted
its members' right to proclaim Christianity as the only path to
salvation.
The resolutions, passed on the last day of the Baptists'
annual meeting, are not binding on local churches but express the
denomination's opinion.
One resolution warns judges and public officials that
legalizing gay marriage "would convey a societal approval of a
homosexual lifestyle, which the Bible calls sinful and
dangerous."
In the resolution on sharing their faith, the Southern
Baptists said they have been unfairly portrayed as "intolerant
and even dangerous" because of their "commitment to Christ."
