A coalition of 34,000 churches in March decided to cut ties with the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) after the denomination voted to include same sex marriage in its constitution.
The National Black Church Initiative (NBCI) includes 15 denominations and 15.7 million church members. The group announced that it will no longer associate itself with the Presbyterian Church, citing PCUSA’s ‘sin against the entire church and its members’ by accepting same sex marriage.
NBCI president, the Revd Anthony Evans said: ‘NBCI and its membership base are simply standing on the Word of God within the mind of Christ.’.
