(ChurchLeaders) After a five-hour meeting Tuesday during which tempers frayed, members of the Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) Executive Committee (EC) once more put off waiving attorney-client privilege (ACP) in the investigation into whether or not the EC had mishandled allegations of sexual abuse. SBC Executive Committee members delayed the decision by another seven days, arguing that length of time was needed due to their full schedules.
“Y’all, the tone deafness of everyone’s busy schedule while people have been dealing with this for years and years is absolutely way too much,” said abuse survivor Jennifer Lyell. “@SBCExecComm I’m sorry to inconvenience you with the sin of those you’re supposed to be holding accountable.”
