Southern Baptists denounce racism and the Alt-Right

[Bob Schroeck]

Something I never really thought I'd see, given that the Southern Baptist Convention was founded by churches who didn't want to give up racism and slavery: Yesterday, the Southern Baptists officially adopted a resolution rejecting racism in general and the alt-right in particular. The story is kind of amazing -- it went from a rejected resolution to sort of this tsunami which took over the Convention's annual meeting. While amazing and gratifying, it's still a bit disturbing that it took multiple drafts and votes until they got the necessary two-thirds majority to pass it.
