Christian Conscience No Longer Welcome at SBC

The departure of Russell Moore - the most definitively Baptist person I've ever known - from the Southern Baptist Convention means that Christian conscience is no longer welcome at the top of the United States' largest Protestant denomination. Until recently, Moore was president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the policy arm of the SBC. Two leaked letters written by Moore outline the reasons for his outrage and his resignation - a catalogue of racism, misogyny and cruelty by members of the denomination's executive committee that confirms every stereotype of evangelical hypocrisy and bigotry.
