The Department of Justice is investigating the Southern Baptist Convention and its handling of a widespread sexual abuse scandal, the group confirmed Friday.
Recently, Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas called out the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court with regard to the atmosphere on the court before 2005, and he is quoted as saying, “We actually trusted each other. We may have been a dysfunctional family, but we were a family and we loved it.” This clearly implies that Justice Roberts has somehow disrupted that process. It would seem to me from observing the Court, that the person who is most disruptive, dower and sour is Justice Thomas himself, and when combined with Justice Alito, one can only imagine the negative, unhappy group that they makeup, and thus, fail to contribute to any sense of harmony on the Court. The continuing comments by Justice Thomas, the disclosures about his wife and his inability to see that he has to recuse himself in certain matters in incredibly disturbing.
Thousands of Southern Baptists will gather next week in Nashville for their big annual meeting.
It will be the first event of significant size in the city since the pandemic killed Nashville s meeting industry. As of Wednesday, 16,000 messengers, the voting representatives of Southern Baptist churches, had pre-registered for the event. It is undeniable our SBC Family is facing many challenges. Some are real and concerning, Ronnie Floyd, the president and CEO of the Southern Baptist Convention s Executive Committee, said in a Wednesday email newsletter. For some who may be younger or somewhat new to our family, I want you to know it really is not all about drama when we meet. It is about the mission. We exist because of the mission.
