15/ Before beginning today's "episode," we make note of several realities.

1/14 It appears some believe our questions about embryo genesis are prompted by latent guilt on our parts.

1/ As the only Baptists in an Interfaith Bible Study, we were asked to clarify some issues.
We assumed we could provide answers.
But, we could not.
So, we asked clergy for aid and we were soundly rebuked; our membership in a #SBC church was jeopardized.

@GarySweeten2 asked why #SBC doesn't utilize Christian Conflict Resolution.

We're petitioning for RECONCILE!: An Online Restorative Justice and Conflict Resolution Degree Diploma (and Professional Certification) - collaboratively funded and taught by the six #SBC Seminaries and primarily administered and instructed by WOMEN. 2/11
