Southern Baptists seek strong leader at Houston convention
The 13 million member Southern Baptist Convention faces a leadership vote in Houston June 12 to 14. Conservative backers led by Paige Patterson and Judge Paul Pressler push for a president committed to Biblical inerrancy, aiming to purge liberal influence from seminaries. Moderates warn the issue risks creedal rigidity and threatens Baptist polity amid debates over charismatic movement and women in ministry.
