“The resolution, passed at the predominantly white convention’s annual meeting in St. Louis, calls for Southern Baptist churches to discontinue displaying the Confederate flag as a “sign of solidarity of the whole Body of Christ.”
Doesn’t sound so bad to me. I’ve never been in a SBC church that flew a Confederate flag, nor do I know why any would. Seems like it would be a good way to drive folks away from the gospel.
Nor is it binding on any SBC church. So what’s the beef?
For one thing, that is getting into politics. The purpose of the Church is to spread the Gospel, not dabble into politics.
