According to a new survey, the number of multiethnic congregations in the United States may be increasing, even if predominantly single-ethnic congregations remain in the majority.

On Thursday night, top Southern Baptist Convention leaders released a 205-page list of pastors and church leaders accused of sexual abuse outside of and within the convention.

Theologian and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president Albert Mohler recommends that churches avoid singing music from "theologically aberrant" movements and instead embrace songs that are "tested" and "true."

In the last ten years, more than 2,000 churches have closed across the United Kingdom a new report finds.

Leaders for the Southern Baptist Convention said this week they will release a secret list of hundreds of pastors and other church-related personnel who have been accused of sexual abuse.

 Sexual abuse is just as horrible and evil within the Church as without, yet we are more guilty because we should know better. We know where the human propensity for sin, evil, and abuse comes from. We know the human capacity to deceive and deflect. We know our own vulnerability, and the sin nature shared by all after Eden. So, if our defense for the sins of the Church is that those among us are no more guilty than Harvey Weinstein and Hugh Hefner, it’s fair to say that we’ve lost the plot of our own story.

On Sunday, an Indiana pastor stood before his congregation and revealed that he had “committed adultery” by having sex with a 16-year-old congregant more than 20 years ago.

Southern Baptist Convention presidential candidate Tom Ascol is calling for the removal of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) Acting President Brent Leatherwood after he opposed a bill that would criminalize women who have abortions in Louisiana.

Let us put this simply – when there is rampant sin in the Lord's house, it is not a distraction from the church's mission to deal with it. Sin hinders the mission. Women and children suffering sexual abuse at the hands of the men who are called to lead the church hinders the mission. Just as cutting cancer out of a body promotes healing and health, so does bringing sin to light so that we can move forward in repentance.
