From the article: “The Resolution declares “the Incompatibility of Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality with The Baptist Faith and Message.” Typical denominational “church,” citing their own faith and message instead of the Bible’s message.
I find the SBC Faith and Message to be consistent with what the Bible teaches, even though it’s not specific enough for me in some areas.
