Al Mohler has been one of the most significant figures in the Southern Baptist Convention, for better or worse. But in recent years, faithful Southern Baptists have turned to Al Mohler for his leadership to oppose egalitarianism, and Mohler has answered the call.
Now, Al Mohler plans to rehash the debate in the Southern Baptist Convention with another proposed amendment, to be called the Mohler Amendment.
Mohler Announced:
I’m going to move that the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in June 2026 amend the constitution of the SBC to add an enumerated sixth item under Article 3, Paragraph 1 defining composition. This new language would make clear that a cooperating Southern Baptist Church does not act to affirm, appoint, or endorse a woman serving in the office or function of a pastor, elder, or overseer, such as preaching to the assembled congregation. I will also move the suspension of Standing Rule Six so that the Committee on the Order of Business may schedule this motion for debate and consideration at this very 2026 annual session.
Mohler’s amendment goes further than the Mike Law Amendment by providing an example and maintaining the language of office and function. It’s a necessary amendment, as the function of a pastor is what many liberal churches use to subvert Baptist doctrine.
The reaction to this has been a Dwight McKissic crash out and a Baptist News Global headline, “Mohler will propose new amendment against women.“
Nevertheless, the Annual Southern Baptist Convention of 2026 is heating up.
