Ahead of the Southern Baptist Convention, the North American Mission Board’s Send Network has hosted a panel that largely attacked the Mike Law Amendment which would label churches with female pastors “not in friendly cooperation” with the Southern Baptist Convention. However, many SBC elites embrace the idea of tolerating female pastors. Reports have emerged of NAMB encouraging messengers to vote against the amendment.
Getting word from a church planter that the NAMB Send event was quite interesting tonight. Says the panel spoke directly against the Law Amendment.

Is this how you want your church planters being influenced, SBC? Is this how you want your $$ spent?

The panel includes JD Greear who recently published yet another blog supporting female pastors in the SBC.
I heard the same thing. And—amazingly—I heard that Greear/Pittman kept making the “it’s makes us top down” argument, when it’s the exact opposite!

This is a local pastor led-effort that was supported by 80%+ of the messengers. The only “top down” action has been these types… https://t.co/3lQgS4JP21
William Wolfe reports that Greear and Pittman overtly opposed the amendment while Trevin Wax subtly opposed it.
This is hardly shocking news and tracks with the SBC elites wanting to tolerate female pastors.
