During his press conference, the newly elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention, Willy Rice, was introduced to the mainstream media. One question he took was on the Mohler Amendment, and Rice was not shy about his support for the amendment banning female pastors at a constitutional level to match the theological position in the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.

“I’ll do everything I can,” Willy Rice said of getting the Mohler Amendment passed. Rice has his work cut out for him as Indianapolis, the site of the next convention, is where the liberals had 3000 votes to kill the Mike Law Amendment to ban female pastors.

It won’t matter. This all for show.
Mohler: “There’s a great line that divides liberal and biblical evangelicalism, and you can see it on this very issue,” he said. “The trajectory of liberal denominations is clear.”
“Liberal” and “biblical” evangelism are primarily divided by foreign policy. The women pastor issue is just the skin. The divide by foreign policy only exists within American Christianity. Outside the US you actually can have male-only clergy without a certain foreign policy.
It is all for show. Too little too late and it’s still loves dispensationalism.
