@ryanburge@BaptistPress My math was bad, was thinking about the 5,500 vs 11,000. From the 13,000 out of 15,000 messengers, the total number of non-votes was about the same.
I’d bet the time of the vote had a big impact. Also potentially after Barber almost won the first the second wouldn’t be as close
@kstrader11@BaptistPress Looks like 6847 votes of 8095 possible earlier in the day. So you had 3 more possible votes for the run off but almost 1,300 less cast. Things ran really late, I’m guessing that was the biggest impact on it.

Also worth noting that come what may, the churches that make up the SBC, other than ones guilty of harboring abusers, will emerge from the other side. Maybe the entities we collaboratively funded won’t because of actions the took (or failed to take). And while that would be a sad
That resignation letter was a concise summary of the mess the SBC Exec Committee has made. Don’t waive your arms and decry the drastic action you were required to take as potentially impugning your integrity and character when it is the accumulation of actions you have taken over
Then maybe the hand wringing and delaying will be proved to have had merit. But I’d rather the SBC lose its money by pursuing the truth of what was done and rectifying it as possible than hiding behind the legal system.
It is astounding to release a letter saying you must resign in order to protect those traits.

If in five years the SBC is reduced to ruin because of a landslide of lawsuits,
