SBC claims 'autonomy of local congregation' makes it impossible to act vs abuse
This was the initial comment by the SBC president, elected last summer.
But as many--mostly 'ex'--SBC members quickly pointed out, SBC immediately kicks out congregations that hire a woman pastor or welcome/affirm LGBT people.
Does SBC really think denouncing women pastors and LGBT people is so much more important than protecting children from abuse in SBC churches?!?
