southern baptist convention

Former Southern Baptist Convention president Johnny Hunt will be returning to ministry after completing a restoration process, according to a new video announcement. Hunt was previously accused of sexually assaulting another pastor's wife.

Some 700 Southern Baptist pastors have written an open letter to the Southern Baptist Convention asking for an amendment to the Convention’s constitution that would prohibit women from serving “as a pastor of any kind.”

Saddleback Church, which is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, has identified the new lead pastor's wife as a "teaching pastor" despite the denomination's stance on the pastoral office being limited to men.

The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary unanimously approved a resolution last week affirming its stance that only men can be pastors.

The president of the Southern Baptist Convention says he voted for Donald Trump in 2020, does not believe the election was stolen and is praying for "better choices" on the ballot in 2024 than Americans currently have.

The Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee voted Tuesday to disfellowship two churches from the convention, including one for its stance on homosexuality.

Brent Leatherwood has been selected as the new president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, according to an announcement.

SBC leaders have nothing to fear from a Department of Justice investigation; if they remain above board and tell the truth. Hiding the truth got this denomination into this mess. We have undergone a painful process of revealing the truth, repenting, and seeking to make amends. If this process continues, then the DOJ’s investigation will only corroborate what we already know–that SBC leaders sinned against survivors in the past and are seeking to redress those wrongs today.

Comfort, renew, restore, and resurrect them. Expose the perpetrators and cleanse your house in Jesus’ Name. Destroy our man-made institutions and build a church that looks like you.

As I’ve written elsewhere, obeying the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20)—without loving wounded souls inside the kingdom—is to commit a great omission.
