Should A Church Question A Person Sexual Identity?

At one time,a person sexual identity was not an issue in the black church. The black church  was the home of unity, love, and acceptance.  It was that same black church that served as the home of the civil rights movement. It was the same church that gave the black community it strength.   But then one day something happen.  The church began  to pick apart it members and became preoccupied with who a person slept with.  

 We know “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was introduced while  President Bill Clinton was in office.  The policy was a answer in the debate over whether openly gay men and women  should be allowed to serve openly in the armed services. Well that same debate is now moving  into the church house.  Some churches are asking if  a openly gay person should be allowed to serve  in any role in  the church.   A friend inform me yesterday that her church was talking and  thinking about implementing  something similar to"Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

But  instead of not asking if a person was gay or not.....Her church  would be asking are you gay.   She said her church was in the process of forming a committee of believers  to check and see....If an individual who  is suspected  of, was believed to be,  or found out to be same gender and  who were living openly in a relationship...Then that  individual  would be barred from joining or participating in any activities with-in the church.  WOW! What ever  happen to the love that was part of the black church?
