Southern Baptists expel churches with women pastors – but the debate’s not just about gender

Retrieved on: 
Monday, June 19, 2023

The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant group in the United States, overwhelmingly voted to expel two congregations with women pastors on June 14, 2023, during their annual convention.

Key Points: 
  • The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant group in the United States, overwhelmingly voted to expel two congregations with women pastors on June 14, 2023, during their annual convention.
  • SBC messengers, as convention delegates are called, also put forward an amendment to make churches’ membership within the denomination contingent upon prohibiting women pastors, which will be voted on next year.
  • However, as a scholar of Baptists in the U.S., I believe an underlying conversation about sexuality has also shaped the church’s opposition to women preaching.

Gay and called

    • In 1990, a Duke Divinity School student named John Blevins, who was openly gay, began attending the Olin T. Binkley Memorial Baptist Church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
    • After his first year of Divinity School, he approached the church about the possibility of being ordained.
    • Later, the congregation called women to serve as associate pastors and, ultimately, senior pastor as well.
    • The church went through a yearlong process of studying faith and sexuality as members wrestled with Blevins’ request.

Removal from the SBC

    • Minutes from the meeting note that the crowd burst into the “appearance of elation” at the decision.
    • Barring membership to the SBC over the issue of sexuality presented an opportunity for conservatives who also opposed women’s leadership.
    • Yet it shows how issues of sexuality and gender were entwined for conservative members of the SBC, who sought similar constitutional amendments for both.

‘Logical consequence’

    • Mike Law, the Virginia pastor who proposed the amendment, does not seek to block women from ordination, as the proposal put forward in 1993 would have done.
    • This distinction would allow women to be ordained and serve as other types of church leaders, such as deacons or missionaries.
    • Both men, in other words, believe one kind of acceptance leads inevitably to the other – the proverbial slippery slope.
