Southern Baptist. Convention dropping the word " Southern"

Because of its history of slavery. Will call itself "Great Baptist Convention". Just when you think you've seen it all.

It will not be long until things go even farther "south" for that convention...

Maybe the name "Baptist" offends someone too. Just change it to PC convention.

isnt "southern" also a geographical depiction?

I’ve noticed the male leadership in many churches have turned into soyboy pussies over the past 15 years.

Surprised the "southeastern" conference hasn't changed the name...

They have been "woke" for like 25 years now - this isn't some kneejerk thing to what's happening in the immediate term.
I have no problem with this. Names change all the time.

Liberals destroy everything they touch.
Everything.
Good thing none of them touch a Bible.

The great thing about it:
Also, do you know why Baptists don’t have sex standing up? Somebody might think they’re dancing.

The 50,000 Baptist churches in the convention are autonomous and can still choose to refer to themselves as “Southern Baptist” or “SBC.”

I changed a few years ago. Haven’t been in a southern baptist church in 15 years.

That is a Babylon Bee story.
And it also appears to be true.
Apparently the Baptists are keeping in step with satire.

I know many on this board don't like him, and I don't agree with him on a lot of things, but Erick Erickson had a great piece yesterday or today about PCA and SBC and how Critical Race Theory is creeping into some of the churches, especially the ones run by younger pastors.

Very disappointing. I think that's an extreme course of action.
Posted on 9/15/20 at 12:56 pm to SEC7070
Wonder what's going to happen with that Historically Black University in Baton Rouge?
Posted on 9/15/20 at 12:57 pm to SEC7070
That's okay. I've dropped the word "Baptist" when describing myself, because of the religion's shitty history of teaching lies, and so many of them being shitty, awful hypocrites, so we should be about even.

True. It's also scary how many 'churches' have even abandoned the teaching of the Gospel. You would expect that to be a basic tenet but many have either skipped it altogether or perverted it to something that brings butts into seats with no concern for their souls.

Very few churches have ever actually followed the Gospel in practice.
