In March of this year, Beth Moore announced that she could “no longer identify with Southern Baptists,” marking the end of her longtime partnership with Lifeway Christian Resources, the Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) publishing and distribution division.
It appears that Moore and her husband have found a new church in a new denomination, but some within the SBC aren’t pleased with where she is calling home.
On Monday, images began circulating on Twitter of Moore at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church in Spring, Texas dressed in a clerical gown, carrying a candle in the recessional, serving the Eucharist, carrying the cup, and receiving the Eucharist during a service this past Sunday. The images are screenshots taken from the church’s service.
In October, Moore shared via Twitter that the Lord led her and her husband Keith to visit a liturgical church in early June. Moore described it as a “small one. One that highly exalts Jesus and sees the scriptures as the church’s final authority in all matters of faith and practice.” Having been in the SBC for many years, she explained how out of place she felt, saying, “I had no idea when to stand or sit or speak or shut up. I held my bulletin, shaking, and kept up best I could.”
