| As Christians and members of the Baptist
denomination, we believe we should engage with the debate in the churches concerning the moral choices about sexual
relations faced by Christians today.
We believe that we are all called by Christ to relationships which mirror
his own, and are characterised, not by selfishness, jealousy or loveless sensuality, but by loyalty, commitment,
trust, responsibility and self-giving love.
The Network of Baptists affirming Lesbian & Gay Christians
seeks:
to be supportive to lesbians and gay men and those with
concerns about their sexuality within the church
to seek the guidance of the
Holy Spirit on these matters
to encourage discussion, study and the sharing of people’s
stories
