Elizabeth Ulrich of the Nashville scene writes of the Southern Baptist Convention's outrageous decision to back away from sexual predators in Save Yourselves. It's a good read.
It was roughly one year ago that 8,600 church representatives, men and women from around the country who bear the name “messengers,” asked the executive committee to look into creating a denomination-wide database of “Southern Baptist ministers who have been credibly accused of, personally confessed to, or legally been convicted of sexual harassment or abuse.”
I still don't understand what happened. This seem like such a slam dunk. I guess it was too much to expect a religious organization to do the right thing.
