"A California congregation that decided to “agree to disagree” about the moral acceptability of homosexuality has been kicked out of the Southern Baptist Convention, the country’s largest protestant denomination. The SBC executive committee announced on Tuesday that it had decided to oust the New Heart Community Church because the congregation’s relatively tolerant take on LGBT issues does not meet the convention’s standards of a “cooperating church.” The SBC constitution allows the organization to ban congregations that “act to affirm, approve or endorse homosexual behavior.”
