… at the breadth of corruption in the Southern Baptist Convention, head on over to The Wartburg Watch.
Back in March 2009, we started writing a blog because we were appalled at the level of abuse we saw and heard about in churches, including those in the SBC. We had no insider information. Neither of us were related to any SBC leaders or journalists of any kind. We just read lots of stuff. It is amazing what people say when they don’t think anyone outside of their fan club is paying attention.
Back in 2009, we read and heard about:
Mark Driscoll
CJ Mahaney
Paige Patterson
Paul Pressler
Yes. The truth about these people — and a great many others, do go read the piece — has been in plain sight and available to anybody willing to see the truth for a long, l-o-n-g time.
The so-called Conservative Resurgence turned the SBC into an exploitative and decadent cult operated by self-serving cynics. I was born skeptical but, unfortunately, the SBC is not an eccentric club whose strange ideas can be safely ignored by everybody else. It strongly colors local culture and local government and, of course, is a very big element of The Donald’s support.
We should all be happy and grateful, then, that the SBC is staggering beneath the burden of its own iniquity.
