On Southern Baptists and Theologians

Thanks to anonymous for calling my attention to a thoughtful post about Theologians in the SBC by Michael Spencer at Internet Monk. Here's one quote from an essay that is full of good insights:

Watch the theologians attempt to move the focus of Southern Baptists to issues such as creationism, the role of women, courtship, marriage and motherhood, homeschooling, cultural persecution of evangelicals, media, ecumenism and politics. (Note how theological concerns pushed the SBC to a confessional position on women in ministry, and also precipitated withdrawal from the BWA. Public schools will be the next issue on the docket, then opposition to Hillary, then young earth creationism.)
