A report on the Southern Baptist Convention's mishandling of sex abuse allegations is raising the prospect that the denomination will create a database of pastors known to be abusers
The proposed database is expected to be one of several recommendations that will be presented to thousands of delegates attending this year’s national meeting, scheduled for June 14-15 in Anaheim, California.
The creation of an “Offender Information System” was one of the key recommendations in a report released Sunday detailing how leaders stonewalled victims.
