Briefly stated: 1.) I watched in real time at the Birmingham SBC as they railroaded through the adoption of inadequately explained resolutions on Marxist based theories on Critical Race & Intersectionality! 2.) While hiding behind a great theme of "Gospel 1st", they preceeded to diswade us from participating in legitimate political involvement (inferring the conservative variety), all the while they themselves are making a name for themselves in the not so conservative political circles, thus bringing criticism & reproach upon the SBC among our fellow Evangelicals, all while the world is watching! This is not how Southern Baptists want to be represented & is why we withdrew from the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs in the first place! 3.) A couple of the memberships/participations in events or organizations by Russell Moore at the ERLC are misguided at best & really worse than questionable, they are downright disingenuous & arrorgantly disrespectful & offensive to most rank & file Southern Baptists! If he wants to affiliate with a George Sorros backed front organization or a blatantly left leaning, & misleadingly so called "'Pro-lifers' for Biden" effort to mislead American voters toward extreme leftist political candidates while at the same time representing the SBC... then I say let him do it on his own dime & NOT A DIME from the CP!! This was precisely the problem with one of his forerunners at the old Christian Life Commission, Foy Valentine, who was a member of some of the most abominable & Godless organizations that ever existed in this country! Some of his words that appeared in another railroaded SBC resolution back in 1972 found their way into the infamous Roe v. Wade decision on the wrong side of the argument!
It was disgraceful then & it's disgraceful now!

However, I have been a Lutheran and later Presbyterian elder for almost 40 years and feel that the church in all of its branches should meet the highest standards of integrity and that its leaders be able to demonstrate that they do not have an unbiblical love of money. Forensic audits will give those of us in the pews greater comfort regarding the integrity of leaders who we support quite lavishly.
