Prominent Baptist Minister Arrested In Gay Prostitution Sting

Lonnie Latham, senior pastor at South Tulsa Baptist Church arrested on a lewdness charge

Oklahoma - A member of the Southern Baptist Convention's executive committee has been arrested in Oklahoma City on charges of propositioning a male undercover police officer.

The Reverend Lonnie Latham has spoken out against homosexuality in the past.

As he left jail yesterday, he said he was set up and was in the area pastoring to police.

Latham has supported a convention directive urging members to befriend gays and lesbians and try to convince them that they can become heterosexual if they accept Jesus Christ as their savior and reject their lifestyle.

The Southern Baptist Convention is the nation's largest Protestant denomination and is based in Nashville.
