"We're grieved by Crescent Hill's departure from biblical teaching and Baptist beliefs," KBC Executive Director Paul Chitwood said. "We're prayerful that they will return to the truth of Scripture on this issue and seek to be restored.
"We're thankful that Kentucky Baptists remain grounded in the Bible as our culture continues to rush headlong toward chaos with regard to human sexuality and gay marriage.
