The tears came today. The SBC has traumatized me, angered me, and driven me away. Today it hit me right between the eyes with grief. I grieve for the godly people who tried to steer it in a righteous & just direction but who were met with hatred & abuse.
I grieve because my daughter doesn't understand why we can't attend a church more familiar to her than the one we're going to. Why can't we just be Southern Baptist again? My exact words, in a moment of anger: "Because they hate your Bibby, Black people, and women!"
