(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) This morning the voice of one renegade Baptist pastor led many to believe that the Baptist churches of Australia had changed their previously stated opposition to same sex marriage. They have not. The voice was that of the Revd Michael Hercock, a pastor of the Surry Hills Baptist Church , also known as “Imagine,” and an employee of Hope Street, an inner city ministries agency of the Baptist Churches of NSW and ACT. He is a “recognised” but unaccredited minister of the association of churches. Mr Hercock is well known for his controversial views on sexuality and marriage. In 2008 he orchestrated the “100Revs” campaign, inviting Australian clergy to sign up to a “sorry” statement directed at gay and lesbian people, and subsequently parade with the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras .
