The president of the Southern Baptist Convention had in June a message regarding the looming Supreme Court decision on same sex marriage which has now gone ahead.
‘The Supreme Court of the United States is not the final authority nor is the culture itself’, declared Ronnie Floyd, the elected leader of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination. ‘The Bible is God’s final authority about marriage and on this book we stand.’
Dr. Floyd’s comments on 16 June were met with thunderous applause and a standing ovation from thousands of Southern Baptist messengers meeting in Columbus, Ohio.
