Quick Hits--Doings in the Baptist Camp
The most recent dust-up in the evangelical world involves the upcoming meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention ("SBC"). To give the short version--a pastor of a SBC church in Southern California "came out" as being gay affirming , first to his son (who, in turn, came out as gay) and then to his congregation. The congregation voted not to fire the pastor, and instead to become a gay affirming church. Al Mohler, the head of a key seminary for the SBC and a general big-wig, basically laid down a marker that the SBC needs to vote these folks off the island . Various folks responded . Etc. A few thoughts.
