“We are united in the conviction that the gospel of Jesus transcends political agendas. … While we recognize the tensions surrounding federal enforcement, the local church is a place for spiritual transformation and biblical teaching, not a platform for political theater or coerced denouncements,” said Trey Turner, who leads the Minnesota-Wisconsin Baptist Convention.
