The Southern Baptist Convention has a dirty little secret — and wants their very aggressive public war against gay North Carolinians to distract you from it.

It is known that there is a history of SBC child rapes. . . but the public does not know nearly the full extent of the crimes . . . because the SBC leadership does not want the public to know the full extent of its child rape crimes.

One exceptionally courageous SBC child rape survivor, Christa Brown, has written a book about child rape in SBC churches and additionally maintains a website about SBC crimes of child rape, StopBaptistPredators.org

After you’ve read Christa Brown’s book and website, start looking through comment threads where she has published articles on the topic of SBC child rape.

"This little light of mine ...
I'm gonna let it shine"

This "little light" shines for the many clergy abuse victims whose voices have been silenced. Silenced by shame. Silenced by the false instruction of religious leaders. Silenced by church shunning and bullying. Silenced by church contracts for secrecy. Silenced by suicide. The mission of StopBaptistPredators.org is to break the silence of Baptist clergy sex abuse.

*** this has been a curiosity of mine that i wondered if it was flying under the radar -- child molestation among baptist & evangelical communities. it's not making the headlines of priest abuse -- but i think time will tell.

1. Aren't they also the ones thinking of changing their name because so much hatred is

associated with their church? ... seems I read this someplace recently.

The Wartburg Watch

Shame on the SBC
Shame on Warren Community Church
Shame on those in the church who do not protect children from predators
Shame on those in the church who knowingly hire pedophiles



This story has to be one of the most disgusting examples of complete disregard by the church for the safety and well-being of children that I have heard in the past, well…come to think of it, when it comes to churches in the SBC, this is a rather common occurrence. Let me state this as clearly as I can. I am hopping mad and steaming about this piece of news.


The SBC makes a big stinking announcement about the Great Commission Resurgence and how it is going to reach out to the un-churched and then it refuses set up a simple pedophile database to protect children from pedophiles. Let’s see how this works out in the court of public opinion.


There is this church, Warren Community Church, which is really a Baptist church. But, not unlike Amway, which has had to change it’s name in order to outrun its reputation, some Baptist churches are leaving the word “Baptist” out of their church name, perhaps for similar reasons.


Senior pastor Dr. Kenneth Culver leads Warren Community Church. He is a graduate of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Luther Rice Theological Seminary. There is some speculation that the church is named after Rick Warren because it describes itself as a “Purpose Driven Church.”
