Yep! #SBC26

[Baptist Women in Ministry (BWIM) @BaptistWomen]

Today, the SBC voted again to further restrict women in pastoral roles in churches all across the country.

Baptist Women in Ministry laments this decision and the harmful messages it amplifies.

@CornorNicholas @thealfordplea @NeilShenvi I know it has come up on both sides, but I wouldn’t be able to give you a good summary of it. It’s outside of my knowledge.

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@thealfordplea @NeilShenvi Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, there may be a handful. But I think the amendment and the Rice election addresses the vast swath of Baptists and their concerns, rather than the lunatic fringe.

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@RealFLBullfrog @NeilShenvi It did. That was the adjustment Mohler announced a couple of weeks ago.

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@WilliamWolfe @charliekirk I voted for it and am disappointed the majority didn’t agree.

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@colinsmo Also love those 75% “faction(s)”

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@thealfordplea @NeilShenvi Ah, okay. So that’s your deal.

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@thealfordplea @NeilShenvi It will have been made clear in the BfM, resolutions, AND an Amendment. Sure, there will still be a few attempts to skirt it—but fewer than previously. And the convention will no longer have to legally fear disfellowshiping those churches. You have to propose what you can pass

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

The Mohler Truth and Unity Amendment passes 74.66 to 25.09 percent. Praise God. #SBC26

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@NeilShenvi “6. does not act to affirm, appoint, or endorse a woman serving in the office or function of a pastor/elder/overseer, specifically preaching to the assembled congregation.”

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@NeilShenvi Still being tabulated, so the results haven’t been announced yet. Could be any minute. The final wording was as Mohler proposed it. It didn’t change from his “revised” version from a week or two ago.

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@SBCvoices @richstarnes No, someone simply called the question. No back rooms. It’s right there in Robert’s.

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@NeilShenvi Yes. And it was *very* precisely-worded.

[Colin J. Smothers @colinsmo]

Sorry, it isn’t 2020 anymore.
We’re inoculated against this kind of manipulation now.

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@merindelon @WilliamWolfe @albertmohler Of course, that doesn’t mean that all the same people will vote for it. But it sure seems to be heavily weighed towards the supporters.

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

And @albertmohler’s Truth and Unity Amendment will be voted on tomorrow. The support in the hall is very visible. This is shaping up to be a very consequential SBC annual meeting. #SBC26

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

Praise God

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@merindelon @WilliamWolfe @albertmohler The vote today was a procedural vote to bring it to the floor tomorrow. It was a visual vote and was overwhelming

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@jaywise08 @WilliamWolfe @albertmohler Should begin discussion at 8:45am tomorrow.

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

Praise God

[Center for Baptist Leadership @BaptistLeaders]

BREAKING: Pastor Willy Rice has been elected as the next President of the SBC with 57.46% of the vote

[John Rabe @johnrabeFL]

@Raingoons Bring it on.
