(Newsweek) Southern Baptists have become the first Christian religious denomination to recognize China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims as genocide, according to a report from Christian Today.
In a resolution first published by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) last week, the group condemned China’s actions and called upon the government to “cease its program of genocide against the Uyghur people immediately.”
The resolution was written by Griffin Gulledge, a Ph.D. student in systematic theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Christian Today reported.
