He should have been fired by the S. Baptists; his endorsement should have been pulled.
He violated his very reason for being in the military as a southern baptist chaplain....to be a fully representative ordained minister of that denomination.
The S. Baptists should NOT have permitted him to reaffiliate, and the AF would have had to violate regulation to keep him on active duty with a denominational change...which is so transparently insincere, by the way.
His endorsement was pulled. A liberal group then gave him an endorsement. He is no longer an SBC chaplain.
Actually, it looks like he quit to avoid having his endorsement pulled. The SBC made it clear he couldn’t remain as an SBC chaplain.
