NASHVILLE — LifeWay Christian Resources has removed a number of pro-gay titles from its online store, LifeWaystores.com, after staffers became aware of the books’ availability. EthicsDaily.com reported Jan. 29 that LifeWay had several authors listed on the site who promote a “pro-homosexual” agenda. EthicsDaily is a news service of the Nashville-based Baptist Center for Ethics.
LifeWay was informed about the books and took prompt action to remove them, according to Mark Scott, vice president of the Christian stores division of LifeWay. “We checked [the report] out immediately and found that, in fact, several titles did appear on our third-party distributor’s list. We were unaware of these and removed the titles immediately,” Scott said in a prepared statement.
Scott also said LifeWay is “enhancing its efforts to ensure that questionable books are filtered out of a massive list of titles available online through its third-party distributor.”
