The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) recently voted on an amendment that would have officially barred churches with women pastors. It received 61% support but needed a two-thirds majority to pass.

Juan Sanchez, a Texas pastor, introduced the motion to clarify Baptist principles while James Goforth, a Missouri pastor, argued that it was unnecessary.

Alexander Odum, a Florida pastor, said: “We should not back down from our biblical stance on pastoral roles.”
