The Southern Baptist Convention report: What it means for abuse survivors and the faithful

Southern Baptists belong to a denomination that believes in the inerrancy of Biblical scripture, the autonomy of their congregations and complementarity of men and women.

In light of the recent Guidepost Report, in this episode we talk about the what the Southern Baptist Convention believes in, its structure and how the absence of female presence in its leadership has contributed to the silencing and abuse of women.
