Yes, you are correct. Unfortunately the men who steered the SBC on its straight path of orthodoxy and marginalized the influence of the Louisville Theological Seminary versus New Orleans and Dallas have been mostly called to their reward or are in retirement. The weasels and termites have worked relentlessly to infiltrated and slowly try to twist the meaning of being a Southern baptist to being a ‘modern baptist’. The recent partial name change of the convention is just the most blatant aspect. The current chair of the convention is a mushy theological liberal who was elected because, like our President, of his skin color. this fellow isn't a Jeremiah Wright sort of hater but he has no real internal fortitude and lets the race card be played on him. Fortunately Baptist churches are self governing entities so the rot at the top in nashville has little real impact other than through the WMU types who are being constantly proselytized about ‘tolerance’ and ‘openness’. This is part of a general attempt by clerico=-neo-marxists to undermine evangelicalism by changing the way many women members ‘see the world’. Look to further to the last president Bush to see the effect of having a culturally mainstream but religiously liberal and ‘progressive’ wife on the husband's judgments. This is tough stuff. Men who are active evangelical Christians need to talk regularly with their wives about how their wives see questions of public policy or even foreign policy. These men need to have some strong arguments against the subtle poison the librats are constantly trying to inject into the evangelical community. Just saying ‘Support DOMA because I say so.’ will no longer cut it.
