The apex church body in Nagaland has taken strong exception to the recent Supreme Court judgments decriminalising homosexuality between consenting adults as well as adultery, terming them “detestable” and “unacceptable” to Christians.
The Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) deliberated on the court rulings threadbare in its executive meeting held on October 30-31, it said in a statement on Saturday.
“Legalising of such acts (homosexuality and adultery) is extremely detestable and unacceptable to the Christians under any circumstances,” the statement by NBCC said.
“This interpretation that granting of liberty, empowering adulterers and unnatural relationship with the encouragement and support of law is terribly wrong for our society,” the NBCC added.
