Last year our messengers spoke clearly on the need for the abuse investigation with a voice that was more united than I’ve ever seen before. This year let’s speak just as clearly on the reforms we need to make and adopt the recommendations from our Sexual Abuse Task Force. 5/5
The Guidepost report revealed major failures in the way our convention has treated sexual abuse and abuse survivors. Let’s leave Anaheim having made some major changes. 4/5
Don’t be fooled by any of these actions or claims. Recognize them for what they are: poor excuses for doing nothing that would bring about substantive change. 3/5
(3) That Guidepost can’t be trusted because it’s a secular organization,
(4) That the recommendations aren’t in keeping with our SBC polity,
(5) That adopting the recommendations is a denial of Scripture’s sufficiency. 2/5

(1) They’ll try to discredit survivors and those who’ve called for reform.
(2) They’ll claim the people pushing for reform are liberal, 1/5
