The First Baptist Church of Texico, New Mexico sent formal notice to the Southern Baptist Convention that it would disassociate itself with the SBC. In a formal letter the church elders attacked the SBC’s embrace of Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality through adoption of Resolution 9 at the Annual Meeting held June 2019 in Birmingham.
The letter sent by Pastor Mike McCune and the church directly engages Resolution 9 and its promotion of Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality as “analytical tools” of use to Christians. The resolution was criticized by many Southern Baptists.
“It appears that the true object of Resolution 9 is to effect confusion, division and ultimately destruction among the membership of the Southern Baptist Convention,” the letter said.
