I do not particularly trust The Atlantic.

Can any Southern Baptist around here fill us in on what's going on? Thank you.

..Rick Warren and now Andy Stanley are indicators where the SBC is heading. Greear says the right things regarding basic doctrine, but still is moving toward that post modern cultural model. Truth will be sacrificed at some point...

The Baptist Church has a long history with the Democrat Party.

They are not generally as conservative as secularists suppose.

The article says they are changing direction, but never says WHAT.

One part that got my attention was:

“They appear to recognize that tethering themselves to Donald Trump—a thrice-married man who has bragged about committing adultery, lies with impunity, allegedly paid hush money to a porn star with whom he had an affair, and says he has never asked God for forgiveness—places the moral credibility of the Southern Baptist Convention at risk.”

Excuse me? Whom do you think the vast number of your parishioners voted for?

Organized religion sucks! Jesus, the bible, is all you need.

Jesus, the one church leader you can count on. Too many of today’s (and yesterday’s) church leaders are perverts and pedophiles.

This article was written by the same kid who wrote "Green Like God: Unlocking the Divine Plan for our Planet"...a book about environmentalism.

I'd dismiss his opinions on the topic.
