POLL: Stance on Berean Baptist Pastor's Anti-Gay Comment
Sean Harris has received national media attention over his comment from the pulpit, if you were a church member what would you do?
Local pastor, Sean Harris of Berean Baptist Church spoke from the pulpit this past Sunday on the North Carolina's proposed Amendment 1 from the support angle, which is not a surprise.
The surprise came when he commented to the congregation that if their child exhibits gay behaviors that as a parent they should "punch boys with limp wrists".
The vote on proposed Amendment 1 is less than one week away to determine if the state will make marriage between a man and a woman the only legally recognized domestic union in the state.
