A young man got his church membership revoked, after revealing he is
gay. Dylan Settles said he once called Woods Chapel General Baptist
Church in Brookand (Craighead County) home, but not anymore.
"I'm a little hurt by it, but I know how they feel," said Settles.
Settles said over the weekend, he got an unexpected letter from his church.
"What I thought was probably a letter probably trying to invite me to come," said Settles.
He has been a member of the church the last 6 years, but said in the past five months has had a spotty attendance.
"And
they probably sent me a letter saying, ' hey we missed you' or 'we want
to come to this fall festival that we're having'," said Settles.
But
taking a closer look at the letter, he realized it was just the
opposite. The letter revealed the church board had voted to take away
his membership because he is gay.
