This is one of the most important charts to explain what is happening in the Southern Baptist Convention.
There are no actual liberals among Southern Baptists.
There are simply many who are not all the way to the right on the spectrum.

It is worth noting that Southern Baptists have seen 5 major agency and seminary lead positions open up between 2018 and 2019.
Every single one was filled by a white male.

The argument that “autonomy of the local church” inhibited Southern Baptists’ ability to patrol & address sexual abuse has always been faulty.
We have been asking for a denominational database, not control, for awareness. We were rebuffed.

In 2007, Rev. Tom Doyle, a former Vatican lawyer whose warnings about sexual abuse were ignored by Catholic officials in the 1980s, wrote a letter to SBC leaders.
He said Catholics also argued they had no control over dioceses, and that the SBC faced a crisis
