The District of Columbia Baptist Convention has been given 90 days to remove a church with lesbian co-pastors from fellowship or risk severing ties with the Southern Baptist Convention.
SBC’s official news service, Baptist Press, reports that the SBC Executive Committee approved a motion on Feb. 20 giving the DCBC until May 20 to end its affiliation with churches “that have demonstrated a faith or practice affirming, approving or endorsing homosexual behavior.”
The motion effectively gives DCBC the option to either sever its ties with the 155-year-old Calvary Baptist Church or help lead the church to “repentance.”

Christianity is a faith with a long and detailed history, with numerous events of lasting significance occurring throughout the ages.
Each week brings the anniversaries of great milestones, horrid tragedies, amazing triumphs, telling tribulations, inspirational progress, and everything in between.
Here are just a few things that happened this week, Feb.25-Mar.3, in church history. They include the Roman Empire establishing Christianity as their official religion, John Donne’s last sermon, and the United States Supreme Court labeling America a “Christian nation.”

Dr Jo Inkpin in southern Queesland said the Church should shift its attention towards listening to transgender people experiencing shame and depression, and helping them heal.
She told ABC News in Australia: “The Christian gospel in its roots is inclusion, valuing the marginalised and Jesus doing extraordinary things with ordinary people; that’s how God has always worked.
“Transgender people enlarge life and our understanding of spirituality and justice and the nature of God and Christian community… we can offer our truth… but it’s helpful if other people allow us to do it.”
Dr Inkpin, who was born as male but now identifies as female, said it was around the age of four when she began to feel aware of her “true sense of self”.
She decided not to publicly declare her transgenderism until last summer, by which time she was in her mid-50s and had been married to a woman, Rev Penny Jones, for more than 30 years.
Dr Inkpin, who grew up in a rural northern England, feared being rejected by the Church and her loved ones over her transgenderism, but claimed it was not her own choice or something she takes lightly.
Explaining the complex medical process many transgender undergo, she added: “If it wasn’t something in the deepest part of you, who would do it if you didn’t have to?
