The way this has been reported has been quite convoluted. The current SBC doctrine already disallows women in senior pastoral positions. The same delegates at this convention just voted the other day to expel another church - with 92% of the vote - that had women in pastoral roles.

The controversy over this particular amendment was over how broad this language was in seeming to disfellowship any church that had women in any church leadership roles at all. With its failure to pass, it is seemingly being reported that the SBC voted to “allow” female pastors. Clearly, that is not correct, as the vote did not change the established doctrine of the SBC, and the same messengers who voted this down also voted 92% to completely expel another church for having female pastors.
