Mark Wingfield reports that Southern Baptist leaders at the recent SBC meeting diverted attention from the serious problem of sexual abuse within the SBC to women and their unsuitability for ministry. He writes:
"It’s ironic that the way SBC leaders changed the subject away from sexual abuse — where the primary victims are women — is by denigrating women in other ways."
"The big overriding theme of this year’s SBC meeting, the one that made the most headlines, was efforts to put women 'in their place,' which is not the pulpit or any pastoral role.
This didn’t happen on just one agenda item but on multiple items."
And, as he points out, this was not just an initiative of SBC leaders, but was resoundingly supported by SBC delegates to the meeting.
Misogyny is us — and we're proud of us.
@wdlindsy Jesus is described as a progressive. What the heck happened to his sheep descendants ? 🫤
@Huntn00 Yes, what indeed.
