Southern Baptists Battle Over Resolution Endorsing “Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality” UPDATE: RESOLUTION PASSES

The Southern Baptist Convention is just beginning, but already battle lines are drawn over “social justice” issues.  For the Resolutions Committee is offering a resolution endorsing “critical race theory and intersectionality” as “analytical tools.”

Concerns that J.D. Greear’s appointments to the 2019 Resolution’s Committee would promote Social Justice were well founded. The Resolution’s Committee report offers a resolution that promotes Intersectionality and Critical Race Theory.

According to RESOLUTION 9 – ON CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND INTERSECTIONALITY, “WHEREAS, Critical race theory and intersectionality alone are insufficient to diagnose and redress the root causes of the social ills that they identify, which result from sin, yet these analytical tools can aid in evaluating a variety of human experiences.”

And, in the Resolved section,

“RESOLVED, That critical race theory and intersectionality should only be employed as analytical tools subordinate to Scripture—not as transcendent ideological frameworks,” the resolution declares.

Well that is so nice that the resolution subordinates Holy Race Theory and Sacred Intersectionality to scripture. But to endorse these divisive, Leftist, and, yes, racist tools as good for anything in the church is asking for war. . . . which may be what Southern Baptists are getting to about now.
