What churches eat undercooked meat?

From a Christian's point of view, all dietary restrictions were abolished after Peter's vision of all animals being made clean (Acts 10:9-16). This instruction came before the Council referred to above so, would arguably apply to all Evangelical (Bible-believing) Churches.
The passage referred to above is a compromise document which maintains the unity between Jews and Gentile believers (in other words the Gentiles would refrain from eating certain meats to avoid alienating their "weaker" a.k.a. stricter brothers). We find support for the weaker brother argument in (Galatians 2:11-13) where Peter is criticised for caving in to Jewish pressure.
The issue of sexual immorality refers to the heathen state of the Gentiles before conversion. I can find no support for dropping the latter from the expected behaviour of Christians (see for example 1 Corinthians 6:19), on the contrary Churches that support Gay Marriage and the like have lost any right to be called Evangelical, whether or not they describe themselves as such.

The command to not eat meat with the blood in it has no relation to the coking of the meat. What that is referring to is the commandments from God to the Israelites after their rescue from Egypt.
All Scriptures are quoted from the King James translation
Genesis 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Leviticus 7:26 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Leviticus 17:14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
Deuteronomy 12:23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
Even though I have no Scriptures which say so this may have something to do with the sacrificial blood of Christ. But that is just a thought.
