I said he was an American Baptist (ABCUSA). That means anything from KJV-only dispensationalist on the right to Peter Gomes, the openly homosexual chaplain at Harvard, on the left. In the US, there are substantial theological differences between some of the Baptist bodies. The ABC, for example, has several regional judicatories open to gay clergy (cf. TABCOM, Chicago, Rochester, etc.), a history of accepting progressive theology (e.g., Harvey Cox), etc.
Thank you for clarifying that for me. Its tough to keep all the acronyms straight
