The Southern Baptist Executive Committee voted today to waive attorney-client privilege in an upcoming investigation into its abuse response.
The committee had been at an impasse on the issue for weeks, with pressure mounting from leaders and pastors.

SBC exec committee, it will be a mistake not to have stood by survivors of the rampant sexual abuse within your own system. You have abused them again today.
Have your privilege, dudes.
But you have no honor.
It’s the anniversary of the electric-chair execution of George Junius Stinney, Jr. in South Carolina in 1944. He was 14, weighed 95 lbs, and had to sit on his Bible for his head to reach the metal helmet of the electric chair. 70 years later, he was exonerated. Lord, have mercy.
The hatred towards public schools in the SBC is so disgusting. I know there are "bigger" issues you all are trying to address, but I CANNOT imagine what it feels like to be a public educator in an SBC church.
If you believe @drjamesmerritt is some “woke” progressive, please join us for a Merritt family Thanksgiving. 😂 Eavesdrop on a few of our “discussions,” and you will be quickly disabused of this misconception.
@drmoore I know this will cost you in many ways. But I am so grateful to be in the generation that has your voice and heart on prominent display. Thank you for speaking up.
"If the world rejects us because of Christ and him crucified, so much the worse for the world. If the world rejects us because they think Christ is just a mascot for what we would already be supporting or doing even if Jesus were still dead, then God have mercy on us." --@drmoore
PSA: Christians, at some point, you’ll have to defy ideological progressivism and conservatism to have a faithful public witness.
You can’t follow all the tenets of the political right or left and follow Christ. Both want your heart and both must be denied it.

Tonight, my alma mater (@UnionUniversity) will welcome a speaker who has led pro-life causes and speaks for the unborn. And while I am grateful for her work to end the murder of babies in the womb, I cannot support her words declaring that police should use racial profiling. 1/4
