The Federalist: Why Southern Baptists Are Losing Confidence In The ERLC
Ahead of the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting, criticism of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) has intensified. Former SBC President Jack Graham and others have called for defunding the ERLC, citing its perceived ineffectiveness and divisiveness since the tenure of former President Russell Moore.
Critics argue that the ERLC has failed to engage effectively on key issues like abortion and gun control, while also supporting controversial political positions that some Southern Baptists view as a betrayal. Despite its stated mission to promote religious liberty and Christian ethics, the ERLC's actions have led to significant discontent among its constituents.
