The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention is known for its pettiness. It routinely blacklisted and worked to end the careers of scholars its leadership did not like, according to conservative Christian scholars.
The latest example of the ERLC having a hand in destroying someone’s job comes from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (SWBTS). Where, the Provost Dr. Randy Stinson is purportedly recorded telling conservative professor Dr. Robert Lopez that the ERLC had a low regard for the professor.
“Then, I happen to be around some folks from the ERLC, where your reputation is not good there with those folks,” Southwestern Provost Randy Stinson appears to say on tape.
