Shiloh Baptist Church leaders had hired the Rev. Chavalis T. Williams in mid-March, even though they knew he had pleaded guilty in Florida to charges of child abuse and using children in a sexual performance.

REALLY? They hired him knowing he had admitted guilt in court to use of children in a sexual performance??? Is that not incredible?

From same article....

“The decision to hire Williams was sharply criticized at the time by several members of the congregation, and he was removed Thursday following a vote by church officials.”

They were wrong to hire him, but it was not done with unanimous consent.

Fortunately, he was removed although how he got in in the first place is a mystery.

I daresay, that is not representative behavior or policy for Baptist churches as a whole.
