The manner in which the Southern Baptist Convention’s leadership chose to handle the “sexual abuse” crisis was controversial from the outset. Their solution took away the autonomy of local churches, and presumed certain of the men accused to be guilty. Megan Basham devoted over forty pages of her book to […]

The Reaction Against Megan Basham’s Book
Those evangelical leaders she exposed in her book, among others, are going after her. She accuses them of “cowardice and avarice”:
A Liberal Shift, Not Drift, Within the SBC
Pastor Landon Douglas has a great article that discusses the leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention over the last six years. I will not excerpt– instead, take a look here.

That gives you an indication of where he stands. Behind […]
