Please make the following correction in the story “North Carolina Baptists vote again to exclude gay-friendly churches” released Nov 15. Replace the 9th graph with this:
The North Carolina convention already has a financial policy that prohibits churches that condone homosexuality from contributing to the convention, which is a condition of membership. That policy has been used four times since 1992 to exclude churches. But Sanderson and other supporters of the new policy said further clarity is needed in order to make a strong statement against homosexuality.
