Baptist Union tensions over gay issue
Baptists from the Baptist Union (BU) are finding themselves facing controversy over homosexuality, as one of the regional associations has dissented from the denomination’s declared position, citing it as unbibli-cal and has attempted to outlaw its churches from conducting same sex marriages, it was reported on 24 April.

The West of England Baptist Association (WEBA) – one of 13 BU regional associations – has effectively challenged guidance issued by the BU which says each minister can make up its own mind on the issue of same sex marriage.
