In leaving the Southern Baptist Convention, the prominent and charismatic evangelical leader has taken aim, not just at an ex-President, but at church leaders' willingness to tolerate corruption
I wonder what Dr. Young thinks about President Jimmy Carter's leaving the SBC in 2000 because of its treatment of women and how that along with Carter's book on the subject are perhaps seeds that are now bearing fruit? I saw President Carter speak at Princeton University on Dec. 3. 2014. Words could neither express the depth of my joy nor the depth of my gratitude for a man of his influence willing to expose modern-day slavery for women disguised as theology in any faith system not just in the SBC. As the line snaked from the back of the nave to the crossing where he sat at a table signing copies of his book, "A Call to Action: Woman, Religion, Violence, and Power," the conviction in eyes and in the words that I would later read in my signed copy of his book continues to edify and comfort.
