    Oh no, it was way worse than that.

    The SBC existed because Triennial Convention wouldn’t accept slavery. The SBC was formed to uphold slavery. They didn’t apologize as a congregation for their views until 1995. 150 years is a bit late to the party but it certainly helps inform why many of us aren’t surprised by this.

      I am sure they will realize they are making a mistake and apologize 150 years from now.

      I firmly believe that a woman who is in her heart a deeply racist and hateful person should be allowed to become a SBC pastor.
