So much is deeply distressing. To say the least. And this is deeply disappointing.

I've met a number of younger pastors raised in other denoms who were drawn to the SBC b/c of what they were told was a glorious Conservative Resurgence. Now many are seeing it for the power play it was & is and are not happy. Will they stay or will they go? #ThisistheSBC
@RMarieGriffith what about this instead👇

Pre- vote, SBC folks were saying, “I’m as complementarian as they come, I’ll die a martyr’s death for complementarianism, but I'm voting against the Law Amendment.” So yes, a big deal to a point but no real victory for women. Nothing is in today's SBC. religionnews.com/2024/06/12/…
❤️❤️❤️Proud of that fight and spirit, indeed! And thanks to these amazing coaches for all that you do!
Congratulations to Bomber Sophomore Jasper Schmidt on an epic journey in the State Individual Singles Class 3 Tennis Tournament in Springfield - placing 2nd overall. Tremendous Fight and Spirit!

This new memoir @ChristaBrown777 is absolutely stunning and digs deeply into the religious culture that shaped her and so many of us. A most worthwhile read!
"Her beautifully written memoir offers a stunning portrait of how Baptist culture & theology has shaped evangelical children & family life over generations, creating the 'what happened didn't happen' stance embodied by both her childhood church & her family." @RMarieGriffith
Thrilled to have Mark joining us @CtrRelPol and taking @ReligPolitics into the future!
We are delighted to announce author and journalist Mark Oppenheimer will join the @CtrRelPol this summer as Professor of Practice and Exec Editor of our online journal @ReligPolitics. Read more: rap.wustl.edu.

Looking forward to this in a couple of hours. It's my chance to learn from you and plug some great new work, including forthcoming memoir by @ChristaBrown777 and new book #SurvivingGod by @feministgadfly that arrived today! Register (link below) or watch the recording later.
Can people finally stop calling it a “conservative resurgence” and recognize the reality that it was indeed a fundamentalist takeover, no scare quotes needed? Those of us who lived it knew it then; the world knows it now.
Former Southern Baptist Convention VP Paul Pressler “talks way more about nudity, the male body, being naked in spas in Europe, being naked in general than God, or his Baptist background,” an aide warned. texastribune.org/2024/01/23/…
If you don’t understand adult clergy sexual abuse (ACSA), this article is an excellent starting point, though a very painful read. Kudos to Doe and her family for coming forward with their horrific story—and to all those at The Roys Report committed to exposing the truth.
EXCLUSIVE: Woman says @ihopkc Fndr Mike Bickle used prophecy to sexually abuse her
“He begins to tell me that the Lord has spoken to him & that Diane is going to die & that we’re going to get married...He at least said that to me 100 times" 1/2

If you’re trying to catch up on all the SBC crazy around the amicus brief filed in KY, this is an excellent summation with many important links to the various statements that have come out in recent days. #SBCtoo

They had to know the amicus brief would come to light. This is the best response any of them could come up with? #SBCtoo
Update: A statement from Southern Seminary president Al Mohler on the amicus brief the seminary filed with the SBC in a Kentucky Supreme Court case: "We respect the rule of law and must work through the process with legal representation, who must speak for us in this case."
