The Stone/Floyd stuff on sexual misconduct (their response/attitude, not their own conduct) is disconcerting, but I'm not in touch enough to know if those accounts are credible or assess their rebuttals. Will pray the correct decisions are made such that the SBC can keep those who'd use it for secular political advocacy out of the denomination.

I'm getting up to speed on recent SBC events as well. I don't know enough to be disconcerted (yet). It appears that some did not think Ronnie Floyd and Mike Stone did enough, quickly enough to uncover the coverups in a handful of SBC churches that were exposed by a Houston Chronicle article maybe two years ago(?).

Russell Moore kind of lost me when he (can't recall the legal term) signed on to a letter supporting the zoning of a mosque in NJ (or MD). Islam has traditionally beat the he%^ out of women so it's hard for me to think he's really concerned about women. Moreover, religious freedom is tied to the image of God in man. And the principle in Gen. 9:6 seems fitting; we are not to protect those who disdain the image of God.

I could go on.

But for a supposedly private email between him and JD Greear (current SBC Pres), to be 'leaked' while on his way out of the SBC seems bitter. Someone should ask which of the two leaked it? From there, someone named Phillip Bethancourt apparently recorded private meetings, released certain audio clips (without their permission), and then hid behind GA laws.

I guess more context is needed but the audio clips were a big disappoint.

I don't know any of the personalities involved or the if Stone's honorable, just pointing out that this line of criticism appears rickety.
