Today, I will begin a series of posts addressing the abuse that has been taken place in Southern Baptist Churches (SBC) in the US and will give you examples of such abuse in churches.
Before giving you these examples, I will quote from a book "Let Her Be" by Charles O. Knowles in which he writes the following:
"In 2000 the SBC added the following to the Baptist Faith and Message: "While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture."
He writes as well:
"In 1998 the SBC added a section of the family to its confession of faith that included the statement: "A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ."
I will share a story on abuse that has taken place in my next post.
