J.D. Greear

Ed Litton, the Southern Baptist Convention's new president, has apologized for delivering a sermon where he used material from his predecessor, J.D. Greear, without citing him.

Outgoing Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear opened up the two-day Southern Baptist meeting using a different gavel than the one traditionally used. The traditional gavel was named for John A. Broadus, a founding faculty member of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Broadus was a slaveholder and a believer in white superiority. So, instead of using the Broadus Gavel, Greear used the Judson Gavel, named for the first SBC missionary.

Saddleback, a California megachurch associated with the Southern Baptist Convention, recently appointed three female pastors. This drew backlash from SBC president J.D. Greear, who advised that the church needs to "stand on the bedrock of God's Word."

Southern Baptist Convention president J.D. Greear is urging pastors to stop referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as a 'Jezebel'.
