Paige Patterson: Social Justice Movement causing upheaval in Southern Baptist Convention

Dr. Paige Patterson said the Southern Baptist Convention is in a time of upheaval. The warning came during an interview on the Janet Mefferd Live radio show on American Family Radio Wednesday. Patterson cited a generational conflict (young versus old) and the Social Justice movement as catalysts for the SBC’s upheaval.

The 76-year-old Patterson said the Social Justice Movement appears to focus on issues that typically are not a major emphasis for evangelical Christians.

“As far as I can tell, most of the people in the Social Justice Movement seem to me to be orthodox believers,” Patterson said.
