Thousands of members of the Southern Baptist Convention meet Tuesday to elect a new president to set the course for the evangelical organization as it attempts to address its handling of sexual misconduct by ministers

and others affiliated with Baptist churches.

Last month, the convention’s executive committee released a 288-page independent report that found that church leaders had covered up sex-abuse claims over two decades, including by maintaining a secret database of alleged perpetrators. It then released a list of more than 700 church leaders and others who had been credibly accused of abuse.

As long as they continue to misunderstand the Bible, and repress natural sexuality as a 'sin,' they, like offending Catholic priests, will continue to prey on minors, no matter how many 'leadership changes' they make. Their system is rotten from the ground up--needs an overhaul.

So. The Southern Baptist Convention knew over 700 of their minsters and leaders, the majority in Texas, were pedophiles and rapists. This is pure human trafficking. People need to goto prison and the originization destroied !!!
