(Christian Headlines) Southern Baptist Convention Pastor Dwight McKissic Sr. says he does not support the controversial statement from the SBC Council of Seminary Heads that denounced critical race theory.
McKissic wrote in an opinion piece for SBC Voices that he himself has faced discrimination within the SBC. He said he was worried that the statement would give the council the “green light” to rescind certain SBC resolutions.
“Initially, for the sake of unity and in the name of Christian charity, I was supportive of the statements released by the council of presidents and the resolutions committee. However, it then became apparent to me that these statements were merely paving the way for rescinding Resolution 9 at the upcoming annual meeting,” McKissic, who founded and currently leads Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, wrote.
