ERLC Trustee Chairman is lobbyist on immigration issues

The denominational swamp of the Southern Baptist Convention is as messy as anything in Washington, DC. Ken Barbic, the chairman of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention, is a lobbyist with an organization promoting comprehensive immigration reform. It sparks the question: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who watches the watchers?

Credit for the find of Barbic’s employment to a Facebook post from Dr. Rick Patrick. Patrick linked to the Western Grower’s Association bio page for Ken Barbic. Barbic is chairman of the ERLC trustees and a lobbyist for the Western Growers Association.
