As the Southern Baptist Convention meets amid decline and a welter of theological conflicts, its executive committee cleared the way for a Wednesday address by V.P. Mike Pence.
The announcement of Pence’s 11 a.m. address to messengers and invited guests at the June 12-13 annual meeting in Dallas was made by SBC President Steve Gaines and Grant Ethridge, chairman of the convention’s Committee on Order of Business, in a joint press release today (June 11).
“We are excited to announce Vice President Mike Pence will be attending this year’s SBC annual meeting to express appreciation to Southern Baptists for the contributions we make to the moral fabric of our nation,” Gaines said.
Ho-hum. More gaslighting.
Paul Pressler is facing multiple charges of pederasty, Paige Patterson was just fired for overlooking multiple instances of abusive treatment of women, including rape, and dozens of pastors across the country are facing criminal charges for raping children — so Put on a Happy Face, because there is never any unpleasantness in BaptistLand.
