A major part of repentance is saying your sorry. A large group of churches have done just that down under.
From the blog "A Life of Unlearning-A Journey to Find the Truth":
Like the crack in a fortress after an earthquake, every now and then a catalytic event opens the way for social transformation. One such event happened last week when Baptist, Churches of Christ, Pentecostal and Anglican ministers began signing a document that said: “We recognise that the churches we belong to and the church in general, has not been a place of welcome for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) people. We are deeply sorry and ask the forgiveness of the GBLT community We long that the church would be a place of welcome for all people and commit ourselves to pursuing this goal.''.
This is a wonderful step. Anthony Venn-Brown writes much more about it here.
