The consultation and the compromise: Gay marriage and the Baptist Union

  • Resumen

  • It is not just the Church of England and the Catholic Church which has been wrestling with divisions over same-sex marriage in recent years. The Baptist Union is also split between those who believe God affirms gay marriage and those who hold to a traditional opposition to it. Yet unlike other denominations, the Baptists have come recently to an interesting compromise. Individual congregations are at liberty to host same-sex weddings or not to, according to their consciences. But gay Baptist ministers will not be allowed to themselves enter same-sex marriages. What has led the Baptists to this unusual position? Could it be a solution other denominations should explore? And, can this settlement hold into the future? Guests: • Ashley Hardingham, affirming Baptist minister • Chris Goswami, traditionalist Baptist minister • Mark Woods, Baptist minister, writer and formerly editor of the Bapist Times
