It is funny what you don't know. I had to look up the word sodomy this morning. I was not sure of the exact definition. I had thought it referred narrowly to anal sex. It seems to cover a wide range of sins, including pastor Christopher Bennett's alleged inappropriate touching of a 14 year old boy.
Christopher Bennett, 30, of Apt. Z6, 200 Franklin Road NE, Atlanta, was arrested Wednesday in the Atlanta area and charged with second-degree sodomy, said Russell County Sheriff's Lt. Heath Taylor. The charge stems from a Russell County High student's disclosure a few days after graduation that Bennett had inappropriately touched the then 14- or 15-year-old boy in 2004, the lieutenant said.
"In that disclosure, he stated that (Bennett) was befriending him, mentoring him, and that on a particular occasion in Christopher's apartment in Phenix City, that he sexually molested him," Taylor said.
Bennett is the president and CEO of Chris Bennett Ministries and presiding bishop of the Generation Impact Movement, according to kingdompeople.org. The Web site claims that Bennett travels across the country and world to preach about the word of God.
I guess teaching the world of god has a broad definition too.

I looked up "sodomy" as a teenager when I heard it thrown around a bit in the public realm. It's basically anything that's not missionary sex between a man and a woman for the purpose of procreation. But as far as a wide range of "sins"?
Anyway, thanks for the post.
