The Baptist Church of Mizoram (BCM) today decided to take strong punitive action, including ex-communication, against homosexual members.

The assembly of the BCM, the highest decision-making body of the powerful church in the state next only to the Presbyterian Church, being held at south Mizoram Lawngtlai town resolved that homosexuality should be outlawed, church sources said.

The BCM also dubbed birth control and abortion as being morally wrong and abortion should be allowed only in the case where the life of a pregnant woman was endangered.
