A top administrative body of the Southern Baptist Convention has selected its first permanent leader in nearly two-and-a-half years
A top Southern Baptist administrative body has selected its first permanent leader in nearly two-and-a-half years, a time when it has navigated a tumult of controversies ranging from a sexual abuse scandal to financial struggles — to its own stumbling efforts to find a new president.
Guidepost's 2022 report concluded that top SBC officials responded to abuse survivors with “resistance, stonewalling and even outright hostility.” In May 2023, the committee voted down a nomination of its own chairman, Jared Wellman, to be president, after some had urged the committee instead to consider Willie McLaurin, its interim president. McLaurin, who led the committee for more than a year after Floyd's departure, was the first African American leader of any SBC entity.
