Update: Good news, the church has reversed the ban: Pastor Stacy Stepp told CNN affiliate WLEX on Sunday that the church voted unanimously to "accept all people regardless of race, creed, or color and to accept everyone into the fellowship of Christ." "I tried everything in my power to try to resolve the matter before it got to where it did," Stepp told WLEX. (source: CNN) Kudos to Pastor Stepp (and to clarify, Pastor step is the new pastor, and NOT the old one who initially pushed this ban) (see original action here)
