Motions made at #SBC22 to investigate finances of North American Mission Board & salaries of various executives. Another wants to attack President Litton on plagiarism (but isn't really a proper motion).
More motions at #SBC22 to eliminate executive sessions for @SBCExecComm (not going to happen for legal reasons) & release of nominees for EC to be released earlier. Another motion targets churches that have a "woman pastor of any kind."
More motions at #SBC22 include push to investigate Southeastern Seminary (amid complaints by @BaptistNetwork supporters) & pushing contact info of trustees of various institutions
For 2nd year in row motion at #SBC22 targets international mission board for requiring #COVID vaccines for missionaries.
Another #SBC22 motion wants LifeWay to create literature about the rainbow as positive sign of God's creation instead of LGBTQ. Reading Rainbow for SBC?
Motion at #SBC22 targets @BaptistPress after report on sexual abuse cover-up shows significant problems.
Motion at #SBC22 to remove Recording Secretary from @SBCExecComm. This comes after Mo. Baptist Convention head John Yeats held that position for 25 years (wordandway.org/2022/03/08/lon…).
.@pastordmack made motion at #SBC22 requesting @SBTS to study removing on-campus honors to enslavers.
Background:

And a Disney boycott motion. Going retro at #SBC22. Sure that will make Charlie Kirk happy after he spoke @BaptistNetwork breakfast this morning as he's been urging churches to cancel Disney

Last night, @bartbarber defeated @tomascol in #SBC22 president election. And it wasn't close. What happened? Let's consider some reasons Ascol & @BaptistNetwork failed in attempt to push SBC further rightward.
🧵 1/
1. Barber was establishment pick, thus had institutional momentum on his side. And solidly conservative, claims of SBC going "liberal" or "woke" didn't fit. Even Ascol praised him as conservative & merely suggested he wouldn't fight enough against those allegedly not. #SBC22 2/
2. Ascol is best known for decades for his work to make SBC more Calvinistic. Although SBC has moved some in that direction, it's still minority & often controversial position. Although not main reason he lost, it probably didn't help.
#SBC22 3/

First couple of rounds of voting at #SBC22 have gone against @BaptistNetwork that's trying to push SBC further rightward. But those votes also are not good predictors of what will come today. Let's consider what happened yesterday & what's maybe happening today. 🧵 1/
.@SBCExecComm elected new officers yesterday. Candidates who voted to waive attorney-client privilege in sex abuse investigation defeated those who opposed. But many CBNers who opposed waiving privilege resigned in protest last fall. apnews.com/article/politi…
2/
CBN candidate for prez of SBC Pastor's Conference, Voddie Bauchum, lost close vote (religionnews.com/2022/06/14/sbc…). Although well-known, he's not actually SBC member. And he skipped part of Conference to attend CBN counter event. Significant baggage working against him for this role 3/

Watching @firstdallas online. #Trump giving Jesus run for money in comments. Some seem really excited about Advent of Trump back in White House.
@firstdallas After instrumental music, "service" starts with announcement of #Trump & standing ovation/cheers as @robertjeffress ushers Trump in. So much for James 2 saying not to give special treatment to some visitors.
@firstdallas @robertjeffress Wait, who is being worshiped today?

.@albertmohler tells @AP that he's
"polarizing only at the extremes" of Baptist life. That may be true, but it doesn't mean he's where he should be. The prophets were usually out of the mainstream & considered "extreme."
wordandway.org/2021/01/24/som…
@albertmohler @AP What's troubling is Mohler thus implies Black Southern Baptists are "extreme" & out of mainstream. That sounds bit like attitude of SBTS's enslaver founders he calls "orthodox." He declares himself in mainstream & thus wishes to be voice on race without listening to Black voices
@albertmohler @AP What if whole lesson of debate over #CriticalRaceTheory is that the mainstream of Southern Baptist life that Mohler represents needs to listen more to Black voices? Rather than denouncing critics as extreme, perhaps he should listen to the voices crying in the SBC wilderness.

.@CharissaKoh of @WNGdotorg wrote about controversy at @SBUniv, but gave a lopsided, inaccurate take. I should know since no one has reported more about case over past 11 months. 1/
@CharissaKoh @WNGdotorg @SBUniv Article frames Clint Bass as hero, starting & ending with mini profile of him. And it relies heavily on his claims against his former colleagues, despite fact some claims already debunked. And investigation by trustees affirmed his firing (a fact not mentioned in article). 2/
@CharissaKoh @WNGdotorg @SBUniv Even more troubling, article quotes 2 alums backing Bass but none backing SBU & his former colleagues. This isn't balanced piece. There are many, many alumni who disagree with Bass & support profs he's attacked. If you can't find one, you're not paying attention or not trying. 3/
