disfellowship

The Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention has voted to disfellowship a Southern Baptist church in Midland, Texas, because the church was employing a lifetime registered sex offender as a pastor.

The SBC's Credentials Committee was tasked with making reporting incidences of sexual abuse and discrimination based on race easier. The new portal they have released represents a step in the right direction—although some say it is too small and too intimidating of a step.
