A November 1 article published by the Baptist Message details John MacArthur’s criticism of the Southern Baptist Convention’s embrace of Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality. The article by Will Hall details the famed pastor and theologian’s analysis of the dangers of Identity Politics. Here are a few excerpts:
SUN VALLEY, Calif. (LBM)–During a “Truth Matters Conference” held in mid-October, noted theologian John MacArthur, pastor of the Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, criticized the Southern Baptist Convention for passing Resolution 9 during its annual meeting in June in Birmingham, Alabama.
This resolution described two controversial ideologies, Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality, in neutral terms, suggesting that in some cases both have been misused “by individuals with worldviews that are contrary to the Christian faith” to come to wrong conclusions.
