There will be some that call the #sbc23 decision to "disfellowship" a church for having women in pastoral leadership "hypocritical" given their rampant #churchtoo sexual abuse crisis perpetrated mainly by men in pastoral leadership against women & children, BUT. Here's the thing:
It's actually not hypocritical at all, and I think calling it hypocritical is generous and gives the vile, queerphobic, white supremacist, p*dophilia protecting leadership of the SBC WAYYY too much credit, as if it's simply a problem of ideological consistency. #SBC23 #ChurchToo
It's not hypocritical: it is both intentionally supremacist & perfectly in line with the SBC's theology of sexuality, gender, and ecclesial authority. Complementarianism is a sexually violent theology. Anti-LGBTQ+ theology is sexually violent theology. #ChurchToo #SBC23
The whole POINT is ensuring that straight and (almost exclusively) white men get to stay in charge of everything. The theology is designed to do that. And you can't start with sexually violent theology and get anything other than widespread sexual violence. #ChurchToo #SBC23
Let's stop calling it "hypocritical" and acting like if the SBC was just more theologically/ideologically consistent they would actually be treating women and survivors well. No they would not. Their theology calls for violence so violence is what they enact. #ChurchToo #SBC23
