The Southern Baptist Convention has announced its decision to bar military chaplains who identify as Southern Baptists from officiating over same-sex \u2018wedding\u2019 ceremonies and participating in other events promoting homosexuality.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0North American Mission Board (NAMB), an arm of the organization and commission center for chaplains, recently released guidelines outlining its expectations in light of the Pentagon\u2019s affirmation of homosexual \u201cmarriage\u201d following the repeal of Don\u2019t Ask, Don\u2019t Tell.<\/p>\n

\u201cNAMB-endorsed chaplains will not conduct or attend a wedding ceremony for any same-sex couple, bless such a union or perform counseling in support of such a union, assist or support paid contractors or volunteers leading same-sex relational events, nor offer any kind of relationship training or retreat, on or off of a military installation, that would give the appearance of accepting the homosexual lifestyle or sexual wrongdoing,\u201d the document outlines.
