Will the conservative Southern Baptist Convention take a stand against Christian nationalism, against right-wing forces pushing a nativist agenda, against those using hateful rhetoric to cut down their enemies?That test will come when messengers—in other words, delegates—representing the nation’s largest Protestant denomination gather for their annual meeting next week in Orlando and be asked to vote on a series of resolutions.
“The #SBC resolutions this year suggest that leadership is acutely aware of the dangers of the Dissident Right/’Christian Nationalism,’” wrote SBC thinker Neil Shenvi this week in a post on X.
One thing is clear: William Wolfe, the right-wing culture warrior trying to push the denomination’s 47,000 congregations and 13 million members farther to the right as part of his own Christian nationalist agenda, is not happy.
