Crisis in the Southern Baptist Convention: Can the church rally against progressive elites?

Last week, Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church Dallas, Texas told Todd Starnes that few people in his church care about what is going on in the Southern Baptist Convention. He said that we’ve entered a period of post-denominational evangelicalism. This is a challenge for conservatives hoping to stop the Leftward, progressive drift of the Southern Baptist Convention into Woke Social Justice activism and Identity Politics.

The threat of such a drift is real. Dr. Albert Mohler feverishly worked behind the scenes with Dr. Tom Ascol to amend the disastrous Resolution 9—the resolution that encouraged the use of Intersectionality and Critical Race Theory as analytical tools for Christian use.
