Southern Baptist Convention leaders intend to publish a list of ministers accused of sexual misconduct that former staff secretly maintained, and rebuked one of their own Tuesday for antagonism toward abuse survivors.

The statement and decision about the list were immediate actions from the SBC Executive Committee following the release of a historic report on Sunday about how SBC leaders failed to address abuse.

Gonna check and see if any of the pastors in my life are on it.

Catholics touching boys, and the protestant's are touching girls. Stay home and love Jesus from my couch.

that's just stupid. they're probably the least woke? just proves you are biased against them and less the others.

full disclosure all denominations of Christianity specifically violate God's Word bc it openly divides the church, which we are commanded not to do.

Yeah, not close

And that's not a defense of the SBC, which is trending in the wrong direction. It's more an indictment of other large denominational bodies.

Really? I don't know how presbetyrians are organized (or spelled). Which division or sect is conservative? I thought they all ran away with Wilson.

Do you know what the "Great Commission" is? I don't but heard it mentioned not to long ago. Is this SBC woke stuff?

I hope this helps get this stuff straightened out, and not keep trying to cover it like it seems the Catholic church has done. We really need religion back on track sooner than later. Getting rid of all the garbage to try to make it fit the world.

There are people fighting it.


quote:

In a statement that blasted SBC leaders for abandoning biblical truth and embracing “radical feminism” and “Race Marxism,” a group of Baptist pastors and professors announced plans to nominate Tom Ascol, president of Founders Ministries and pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida, for SBC president. They also plan to nominate best-selling author Voddie Baucham, a former pastor and dean at African Christian University in Zambia, to lead the SBC Pastors’ Conference.

STATEMENT NOMINATING TOM ASCOL AND VODDIE BAUCHAM

We, concerned Southern Baptists of differing geographical, theological and vocational perspectives, in one voice nominate Pastor Tom Ascol for President of the Southern Baptist Convention, and SBC Missionary Voddie Baucham for President of the SBC Pastors’ Conference.

The Southern Baptist Convention plays a vital role in global Christianity, with the world’s largest missionary force and 11% of America’s churches. But perhaps even more importantly, through our six seminaries, we educate one third of America’s seminary students. Our institutions affect vastly more than just ourselves.

But the Southern Baptist Convention badly needs a change of direction. While baptisms and evangelism continue their freefall, a small group of leaders steers our institutions ever closer to the culture, from radical feminism masked as “soft complementarianism” to the false gospel of Critical Theory and Intersectionality. In Christ there is no Jew or Greek, there is no slave or free, we are all made one in Him. But this “Race Marxism” divides everyone by their most superficial features, in a never-ending cycle of recrimination and hate.

We reject these worldly dogmas. We stand together on the Baptist Faith and Message. We proclaim the sufficiency of Scripture. And we know the vast majority of Southern Baptists do too.

At this critical juncture, we need men to serve who can unite our convention around the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe there are no two better men to lead us in this vital task than Tom Ascol and Voddie Baucham.

For many years, Tom Ascol has been a faithful conservative voice in the SBC. The grandson of a Syrian Muslim immigrant who was murdered in the South in the 1920s, Tom Ascol has seen the grace of God at work in his family, and savingly in his own life. He believes the Gospel is the sole answer to the challenges we currently face as Southern Baptists.

Likewise, Voddie Baucham is one of the most faithful expositors of our day, a day in which sound preaching is more important than ever. He will give the exact kind of leadership needed for the SBC Pastors’ Conference, an event which in recent years has shifted radically from one of the high points of the entire year into what many have termed “Woke Fest”. The importance of restoring that pivotal event cannot be overstated.

We’ve been told “the world is watching”, and so it is, demanding that the church conform. But we believe that God is watching, that He alone defines our terms and sets our agenda.

And God is not Woke.

The Baptist in the pew isn’t either. But that won’t mean anything if we don’t show up, and vote.

So come to the Annual Meeting in Anaheim this June. We’re asking you to stand in this crucial hour, for the SBC, and for Tom Ascol and Voddie Baucham. Help us change the direction,and return the SBC to a firm commitment to the sufficiency of Scripture.

There are quite a few Presbyterian denominations currently. The PCUSA is probably the most well known “liberal” denomination for ordaining women and homosexuals as pastors and getting involved in the “woke” side of social justice issues.

The PCA is a mixed bag these days with some liberal and some conservative congregations and a variation in between.

The OPC is still very conservative and others like the RPCNA are also very conservative.

For anyone looking for a conservative church that is Reformed/Calvinistic and Presbyterian in church government, I’d suggest looking into NAPARC

What is the wokeness rampant in the SBC that is akin to what the Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Methodists have been doing recently?

I don't know of any SBC churches in my area that are allowing women, queers, or divorcees into an leadership position.
