Big Australian  church seems  to go liberal  on sexuality

Melbourne, Australia

An influential Pentecostal church in Melbourne, Australia, appears to have taken a significant step towards liberalising its views on same-sex relationships.

Bayside Church, located in the southern suburb of Cheltenham, says it has ‘listened to the Holy Spirit and… studied Scripture’ prior to releasing a new statement about inclusivity.

However the church’s pastor has also appeared to indicate they have no plans to offer same-sex weddings in their services at the moment.
