Uh as private entities, churches have the right to deny, extend or revoke
membership... This is the cold hearted part of it.

I suspect that the Church leadership might rectify this or attempt to,
especially since 9 were ousted and 40 or so I presume to be republicans
also left in protest.

 J> You are not in any way troubled by this church-action?

Ethically I think it is wrong, but I am certainly not going to get
indignant about it and demand that we enact laws.

Shouldnt you wait til this plays out before you start arguing for punishment?

This is one church with one pastor who has gone extreme, can you show that
this is policy for all Baptist Churches, did one or more of the
"Baptist Conventions" issue a "edict"?
