Navy Captain Larry Ellis1 stance is reported in the premier issue of SBC Life, a new Southern ~aptistConvention publication to be distributed during the SBC1s annual meeting, June 15-17 in Houston. Ellis is an SBC Home Mission Board-endorsed military chaplain, a former Bible teacher in missions conferences at Glorieta (N.M.) Baptist Conference Center and a 1964 graduate of Southern Baptist ~heologicalSeminary in Louisville, Ky. After news broke last year of the position paper prepared by Ellis1 deputy, Chaplain Gene Gomulka, Ellis told the New York ~imes: egisla la tors and military leaders have a legitimate role to play in checking the spread of homosexual behavior, especially amone young people whose minds and characters are in formative stages, thus prevenging physical and/or phychological harm that could injure many innocen Ellis also told the rackeristic for military chaplains to voice opinio The issue of homosex been in the news since President Bill Clinton an r this year to open military service to openly a1 individuals.

Concerning his opposition to Clinton's idention to end the ban on homosexuals in the military, Ellis a~knowlsdged, "Because he is our commander in chief, the freedom of militar~)$eirsonnel to speak to issues on which he has spoken is somewhat limited." Ellis also acknowledged "the potential dangers to military leaders if they are perceived as countermanding his guidance." "Chaplains, however, are a special case," Ellis said.

  • The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission | Here We Stand
    The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission | Here We Stand As evangelical Christians, we dissent from the court’s ruling that redefines marriage. The state did not create the family, and should not try to recreate the family in its own image. We will not capitulate on marriage because biblical authority requires that we cannot. The outcome of the Supreme Court’s ruling to redefine marriage represents what seems like the result of a half-century of witnessing marriage’s decline through divorce, cohabitation, and a worldview of almost limitless sexual freedom. The Supreme Court’s actions pose incalculable risks to an already volatile social fabric by alienating those whose beliefs about marriage are motivated by deep biblical convictions and concern for the common good. The Bible clearly teaches the enduring truth that marriage consists of one man and one woman. From Genesis to Revelation, the authority of Scripture witnesses to the nature of biblical marriage as uniquely bound to the complementarity of man and woman. This truth is not negotiable. The Lord Jesus himself said that marriage is from the beginning (Matt. 19:4-6), so no human institution has the authority to redefine marriage any more than a human institution has the authority to redefine the gospel, which marriage mysteriously reflects (Eph. 5:32). The Supreme Court’s ruling to redefine marriage demonstrates mistaken judgment by disregarding what history and countless civilizations have passed on to us, but it also represents an aftermath that evangelicals themselves, sadly, are not guiltless in contributing to. Too often, professing evangelicals have failed to model the ideals we so dearly cherish and believe are central to gospel proclamation.
