"Baptist News" ran this article about Pastor Jimmerson. She was ordained in "Weatherly Heights Baptist Church in Huntsville, Ala" which may be found on the internet here. It gives every appearance of being a "mainstream" Baptist Church. Of particular interest is the following from their "who we are" page: "Weatherly Heights Baptist Church is located in suburban southeast Huntsville, Alabama. We are one of a few churches in Huntsville affiliated with both the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF). We are also affiliated with the Alabama Baptist Convention and the Madison Baptist Association.

If the SBC doesn’t dump her and her church pronto, well I hope that a huge number of SBC churches will withdraw in protest.

There is nothing "mainstream" about this church from a Christian perspective.

From their website:

At Weatherly, women are included in all areas of leadership, including deacons, teachers, preachers, and committee members. We value the many religious traditions within the larger community of Huntsville, believing that we need not invalidate another's belief to embrace our own. Weatherly also recognizes the liturgical heritage of Christendom. The paraments, clerical robes and stoles, and other liturgical symbols are a constant reminder that we stand in a broad, deep Christian tradition.
