An orphanage in the Philippines run by the SBC had this to say to a US couple seeking to adopt their second child:
And then we received a letter from the Philippines via our agency in Massachusetts, where we live. The orphanage, which is run by Southern Baptist missionaries from a church in El Paso, Texas, wanted to know more about our spiritual beliefs, and sent us a list of questions. Could it be we were just not quite Christian enough? It’s not too much to ask, they said, to wonder about our position on homosexuality; after all, the American Episcopal Church has elected “homosexuals” to leadership positions. Do either of us condone homosexuality? And are we biblical Christians? Do we believe in evolution? And why is it, they wondered, that our surnames are different? Finally, an aside to the Philippine Adoption Board: Is this the only family open to Matthew Luke?
Where the DiBona’s Christian enough for Matthew? You can read the rest here.
