The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has made a suprise reversal of policy by declaring that same-sex couples will no longer be considered “apostates” and can now have their children baptized into the faith, reports CNN.
Speaking at a conference in Salt Lake City, Dallin Oaks, member of the church’s First Presidency said that same-sex marriage will now be considered a “serious transgression” and no longer treated as a betrayal of the faith. By doing this, the Mormon church hopes “to reduce the hate and contention so common today.”
