When Kreis White's family was considering whether to join Glendale, he was told about Baker's sexual orientation. He didn't see it as relevant. "My kids got to help in the soup kitchen yesterday, and Habitat for Humanity is a blast. The activism is what attracted me," he said. Baker's sexual orientation is "such a small fraction of who she is," White said. "She is also a Braves fan, which I find horribly compelling. She is a gifted speaker, a great pulpit speaker. She is a very spiritual leader for the kids." Inclusiveness? Activism? How about simply preaching the Word of God? And a lesbian in the pulpit? No thanks! I am so glad the SBC and TBC handled this situation quickly. That is one women's retreat I would NEVER attend! :( I hope a good SBC affiliated church is there to receive the refugees.
