OK, once again, after Roe v. Wade, the only organized faith in this country that did not support Roe v. Wade was the Catholic Church. I have already shown you the proof, but of course you ignore it. Falwell jumped on the pro-life train for political reasons. I’m glad he did with his Moral Majority. Catholics needed help. Falwell also later in his life supported homosexual civil marriages. Falwell was not the good ole boy fire and brimstone evangelical that he’s portrayed to be.

And like I said and I'll say it once again in most Baptist churches both in the era you speak of and now the individual church deacons would show a pastor endorsing such the door by that evenings service. No calls to SBC required. Baptist churches of any sect I know of the congregations chosen ordained Deacons have the authority to call or dismiss pastor. But then again in the past 30 years many churches have popped up claiming to be Baptist.

And again I tell you despite what you have read Falwell was a co-founder of the Moral Majority not the founder. He didn't name it that Paul Weyrich came up with that name. The whole concept IIRC didn't actually come from Falwell but from a retired executive named Ed MCAteer whom Weyrich and Phillps knew.

Many actually a vast majority of Baptist churches have always opposed abortion, gay marriage etc. You point to one sect. SBC is as far as Baptist churches go a small fraction of the whole. There are Independent Baptist as well as many smaller groups or associations of say a dozen churches. There are Missionary Baptist as well as Primitive Baptist which is the strictest sect of them all. Not a single Baptist church in my neighborhood is or has ever been SBC. Not a single one ever supported gay marriage abortion etc.
