Canberra Baptist Church kicked out of association for supporting same-sex marriage | ABC NEWS
The New South Wales and ACT Baptist Association, which is governed by member churches, voted to disaffiliate the Canberra Baptist Church during its annual assembly in Sydney on Saturday night, with 65 per cent of the delegates supporting the move.
The association reviewed its constitution in 2022 and reaffirmed its position that marriage was between one man and one woman as ordained by God.
But the Canberra congregation stood by a differing view: that marriage is a matter for each individual to decide according to their own conscience.
