The meeting of the South Baptists in Dallas will be requested to approve resolutions calling for the legal prohibition of pornography and the reversal of the approval of the same sexual marriage of the US Supreme Court.
The proposed resolutions call for gender, marriage and family laws based on what they say is the biblical order of divine creation. They also call for legislators to reduce sports betting and support policies that promote child’s birth.
It is expected that the southern Baptist denomination of the nation, the nation the largest Protestant denomination in its house is discussed in its home meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday – as a proposed ban on churches with women’s pastors. There are also calls for decorating public policies of the organization, whose attitude against abortion has not expanded to support criminal charges for women who have abortions.

The southern Baptists will meet at 40. anniversary of the second annual meeting of Dallas. Epic showdown occurred when recorded for record church representatives clashed in what has become a decisive blow in the takeover of the Convention – and its seminars and other agencies – a conservative fraction with a growing Christian conservative movement in presidential policy.
Showdown from 1985. was the “Joint Convention in the sense of the old and new in the SBC,” said Albert Mohler, who became a key agent in the right move to the right-footed president of the southern Baptist theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.
Attending this week is likely to be a fraction of 1985, but the impact on that meeting will be visible. All discussions will be among solid conservative members.
Many proposed resolutions – about gambling, pornography, village, gender and marriage – reflect the long-term positions of the Convention, although they especially pointed out their requirements of the wider political world. They are proposed by the Official Resolution Committee, whose recommendations usually become strong support.
The proposed resolution says that legislators have a duty to “make laws reflecting the truth of the creation and natural law – about marriage, village, human life and family, and who made the ordinary through nature and the letter. “
Some external observers are such a language theocratic.
“When you talk about God’s design for anything, there is not much space for compromise,” said Nancy Ammerman, Professor Emerito sociology of religion at Boston University. She was eyewitnesses for the meeting of Dallas and the author of “Baptist Batts”, histories in the 1980s between theological conservatives and moderates.
“There is not much space for people who do not have the same understanding who God is and how God works in the world,” she said.
Mohler said the resolutions reflect the divine order that preceded the writing of the Holy Letter and confirms them. He said that the Christian Church has always claimed that the order was created “binding on all persons, at all times, everywhere.”
Separate resolutions Take the pornography and sports betting as destructive, referring to the first to bacheland and lime.
At least some of these political attitudes are in the empire of credibility at a time when their conservative allies control all the levers of power in Washington and many accepted aspects of the Christian nationalist agenda.

At least one supreme judicial justice, Clarence ThomasHe called for the audit of the Decision of the Supreme Court for 2015. Sleeping of the same-sex marriage across the country. Other religious conservatives – including some in Catholic postliberal Movement, which influenced JD Vance – promoted the view that the strong government should have had legislation, such as banning pornography, while relieving the separation of the church.
And the conservatives of the various stripes echoed one of the calls for pro-natalist politics and their decrypting “willing children who contribute to the decline in fertility.”
Some prognathial conversation focused on the rejection of ethics and religious commission for freedoms, public policy public policy of the southern Baptist Convention, which is accused of inefficient. Ten former southern Baptist presidents approved his continuous funding, although he invited another to the opposite.
A firm conservative group, the Baptist Leadership Center, has published online articles critical for the Commission, which is adamfortable anti-abortion, but opposed to state laws seeking abortions.
The Commission complained about the southern Baptists to support, stating their advocacy for religious freedom and anti-abortion and transgender identity.
“Without the ERLC, send a message about the legislators to our nations and the public that SBC has chosen to leave the public square at the time of the world’s most needed,” said the President of the Commission.
The group of southern Baptist ethnic groups and leaders signed a statement in April, where concerns the Trump’s immigration slit, saying to hurt church attendance and raised fears. “The law and order are necessary, but the execution must be accompanied by a compassion that does not demonize those who run away from oppression, violence and persecution,” statements.
The Center for Baptist Leadership, however, condemned the denomination baptist press for work on “weapons of empathy” in reporting on the statement and leather support for support.
Texas Pastor Dwight McKissic, a black pastor sharing many conservative views of the southern Baptist Convention, criticized what he sees as a backlog against the Commission, “the most progressive entity in the SBC”.
“SBC is the transition from the Evangelical Organization to the Fundamentalist Organization,” he published at the site of the Social Media X. “Fewer and fewer black churches will make transition with them.”
Amendment to the ban on churches with women’s pastors failed in 2024. years after they were closely managed to acquire supermajeness two-thirds of two consecutive years. It is expected to be re-introduced.
The declaration of the belief at denomination says that the office of pastor is limited to men, but there is disagreements about whether this applies to the leading pastor or assistant. In recent years, the Convention began cleaning the churches that or had women as leading pastors or claimed that they could serve that role. But when the SBC board retained southern Carolina Megachurch with a woman on his pastoral staff, some claimed that it proved the need for constitutional amendment. (The Church later stopped denominating his own agreement.)
The meeting comes as the southern Baptist Convention continues its long membership, drop 2% in 2024. from the previous year in its 18. consecutive annual fall. The organization is now reporting to 12.7 million members, which is still the largest among Protestant denominations, many of which are less likely to decrease.
More promising is the Baptism of South Baptists – a key spiritual vital sign. They stand at 250,643, crossing the pre-pandemic levels and, at least for now, the otherwise debt slide.
