ERLC President Brent Leatherwood Thanks Messengers
ERLC president Brent Leatherwood thanked messengers for not abolishing the entity he leads, saying:
We thank the messengers for affirming the need for a Southern Baptist entity that advocates for our policy priorities before our nation’s leaders in ways that are rooted in Scripture, reflective of the Baptist Faith & Message, and responsive to the actions of our messengers. We are committed to continually listening to Southern Baptists on ways to better serve our Convention in the public square.
“We would like to thank the messengers for their careful consideration of the work of the ERLC,” ERLC board chair Scott Foshie told Baptist Press. “We are committed to listening well to pastors and lay leaders, both those who support and those who question, as we work together to best serve Southern Baptists and advocate for their priorities in the public square.”
