(ChurchLeaders) In an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, newly elected Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) president Ed Litton said that the SBC has neither subscribed to nor condoned critical race theory (CRT). Litton also called the existence of systemic racism—which CRT attempts to address—“obvious.”
“We’ve never condoned critical race theory,” said Ed Litton, in response to Burnett’s repeated statements that the SBC has accepted the ideology. “We believe in gospel reconciliation.”
