A growing number of rank-and-file Baptists are worried about the direction of the Southern Baptist Convention. Resolution 9 appears to be a tipping point. It is over Resolution 9’s approval of Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality that a group of Georgia Baptists are getting ready to fight. It is a fight to save the SBC from the perils of Identity Politics. These fights are taking place at the local associational level and the state level.
“We share the opinion that the SBC has begun a journey down a dangerous path that must be corrected,” said Tom Vann, one of the organizers of the Laurens Baptist Association effort to pass a resolution against Identity Politics
Vann is pastor of Rentz Baptist Church, Rentz, Georgia.
