There are very sound SBC churches that don’t reflect the nonsense at the top. Don’t write them all off. I’m a member of one.
There are some good local SBC churches; we were members of one in California. And when it comes to preaching, they have some excellent “preacher boys”. Portions of our offerings were going to their HQ overhead and projects, some of which we questioned — not that they were bad, but we thought they were better handled at the local level, e.g. Missions (Lottie Moon, Annie Armstrong).
I grew up in a Baptist parsonage, and we had missionaries staying with us all the time, and presenting their work to the church. When Missions was handled at the SBC HQ level, we never knew the missionaries we supported, and weren’t intimate with their work.
As long as the end result is achieved, it’s probably even, so it may just be a case of what’s comfortable for each member.
I’m sure the pendulum will swing back to more fundamental some time in the future for SBC; it seems to be what is typical.
