Follow Up of the Day: In the wake of a firestorm over its decision to ban interracial couples from participating in worship services, an eastern Kentucky church has overturned the racist resolution with a second vote in favor of welcoming believers “regardless of race, creed or color.”

Gulnare Free Will Baptist Church pastor Stacy Stepp told the Associated Press that the previous vote was rendered void by the determination that church bylaws “can’t run contrary to local, state or national laws.”

The issue involving interracial couples joining the congregation first arose when Stella Harville, the daughter of church secretary Dean Harville brought her Zimbabwean fiancé to sing before members.

According to Pastor Stepp, the new vote passed with unanimous consent.
