Southern Baptist Director Arrested for Soliciting Gay Prostitute
How many of these types will it take before the public realizes that those who cry loudest have something to hide?

The following is that statement the Pastor’s church posted after the arrest: (http://www.tmabc.org/)
Statement Concerning Dr. Lonnie Latham,
Pastor of South Tulsa Baptist Church:
Our association of churches is saddened by the recent news concerning our former Executive Director, Dr. Lonnie Latham, now pastor of our own South Tulsa Baptist Church. We hurt deeply for Lonnie, for his loved ones, and for the wonderful church that he pastors. While we certainly do not condone this type of behavior, it is so important for us to remember that Lonnie is one of our own and our actions toward him as a fellow member of God’s Family should be responses of grace, mercy, and forgiveness. What has happened in this situation only demonstrates that we are all human, that we all make mistakes and that we all fail. That is why we need a Savior who heals, who forgives, and who restores . . . that’s why we need Jesus.

Thanks for posting that. I
Thanks for posting that. I had read that in one of the news summaries.
What they need to do is open their eyes and stop condemning gays and accept them unconditionally as “normal”. If this man lived his life honestly – by being honest with himself and the people he loves, perhaps he would be in the relationship that would most fulfill him. But, then, he probably wouldn’t have risen to prominence in his church by bashing gays with his rhetoric.
