		<description>Frank Page and the entire Southern Baptist Convention have once again proven their extreme hypocrisy. When AIDS came on the scene, it took a lone black minister, Cecil Williams of Glide Memorial Church to come to the fore and offer solace for the sick and dying. In 1988, the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles also opened several AIDS agencies. The Southern Baptist Convention was no where in sight. It had a chance to show the world how truly Christian and compassionate it was - and it blew it. Big time! To date, there is still no recognizable AIDS agency sponsored by the Convention. I've researched this area of the AIDS epidemic and yes, I contacted the Southern Baptist Convention. The response was neglidgeable. When asked if they knew of ANY faith-based AIDS agency after 1988, the response was "we don't know."

For someone to be TRULY compassionate, solace must be unequivocal. There can be absolutely no pre-judgment. The Good Samaritan did not say to himself "He's only a Jew, but I'll help him anyway." And as far Christ's missionary work is concerned, neither the Good Samaritan nor Christ would say "Here's a bowl of soup, but you can't have it unless you convert." The Southern Baptist Convention and its members are not capable of true compassion. Their proselytizing hurts Christianity more than helps it. They'll pretend to reach out to Africa, all the while ignoring their own Americans since they think America is still afflicted with a "gay" disease.

And yes, they are VERY slow and dimwitted: it took them over 150 years to apologize for slavery, since, of course, embracing slavery was what severed their ties with Northern Baptists. And one last rant: for many years, the largest contingent of any kind in the Ku Klux Klan - Southern Baptist ministers.

I will stand by my comments. If anyone wants to rant back, go ahead.</description>
