Wally mentioned: " In the church I attend, gay, lesbian and
unmarried couples would not be allowed to join the church until the
behaviour
was changed. "
Can they attend services? I hope so.
Do you ask people who are joining if they "qualify" under your
restrictions? Do you ask an engaged couple whether or not they are
sleeping together?
Do you prohibit people who gossip, or habitually drive too fast, or maybe
get drunk sometimes, or . whatever .. from joining?
You must have either a pretty small church or one where the actions of
members are not looked at too closely.

Peace.
