According to Southern Baptist pastor Dr. Tom Buck, Kevin Ezell, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board (NAMB), reached out to distance his organization from an article written by NAMB’s chief Missiologist and published by Christianity Today. The article linked the decline in Christianity with the rise of patriotism, nationalism and Trump support.
Buck tweeted, “Grateful for @kevezell reaching out to me and clarifying that this is NOT the view of @NAMB_SBC and such a thing will never happen again. Thankful Kevin doesn’t want anything distracting them from the mission they have in serving all SBC churches.
