A fiery female Baptist pastor from Detroit shocked conservatives in her church and triggered a rift among the membership when she resigned after revealing she married a female bishop from Washington, D.C several months ago, charging that the Bible supports it.
Bishop Allyson D. Nelson Abrams was once married to a man and become the first female pastor of the Zion Progress Baptist Church, according to the Detroit Free Press.
On Oct. 6, however, Abrams, who is also a mother, revealed to the congregation she had pastored for five years that she was in love with Diana Williams, a bishop emeritus with the Imani Temple African-American Catholic Congregation in Washington, D.C. She resigned after revealing her Sapphic nuptial to Williams, which took place in March in Iowa where same-sex marriage is legal.

She wasn’t Southern Baptist. The Convention would have dissassociated themselves from her church long before now. Any group can call themselves Baptist, even a bunch of Satan worshippers.
She wasn’t Southern Baptist. The Convention would have dissassociated themselves from her church long before now. Any group can call themselves Baptist, even a bunch of Satan worshippers.
The SBC has indicated an increasing liberal stance.
From Black Youth Project: “I could have been like so many people are and lied and said it’s not true,” Abrams, 43, said. ”But that’s not how I was raised and, as a Christian, I was always taught to be a truthful individual. So when it came up I said, ‘OK. I need to be honest with my congregation and tell them truth about what was a great event for me.”’
Sounds to me that she is lacking in some other crucial Biblical doctrines.
Actually, she has a point. The Scriptures mention a Bishop having one wife, and each of them has one “wife”.
Anymore, religion is becoming a smorgasbord of beliefs where leaders and congregants pick and choose to assemble their own style of religion.
A marriage made in Heaven, NOT
She needs to reread Leviticus.
“...she resigned after revealing she married a female bishop from Washington, D.C several months ago, charging that the Bible supports it.”
If she really thinks that the Bible supports it, then why is she resigning?
'You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination'
Doesn't say anything about lesbians.
“Baptist” my left toe
The SBC does not allow women to serve as pastors.
The Scriptures say a bishop must be the husband of one wife. 1 Timothy 3:2
