Can the Southern Baptist Convention Survive Without Women Pastors?
Briefly

The Southern Baptist Convention is faced with a significant resolution regarding the banning of female pastors, emphasizing the importance of Biblical authority and traditional doctrine. At the heart of the discussion is a desire to maintain the convention's values and beliefs while navigating modern challenges. As one speaker stated, the interpretation of the Bible plays a crucial role in shaping perspectives on gender roles within the church. The outcome of this debate is consequential, given the convention's stature as the largest Protestant denomination in North America.
The issue of a woman serving in the pastor is an issue of fundamental Biblical authority that does violate both the doctrine and the order of the Southern Baptist Convention.
The Bible does not allow women to be pastors of local churches. Rather she’s to remain quiet.
The Southern Baptist Convention is the largest Protestant denomination in North America, so what happens to the Southern Baptist Convention matters.
We're a people who have a book, and that book teaches us what the will of our God is.
