(This decision came in February 2022, months before Sunday's explosive report on Baptists sex abuse and cover-up.)
Ed Litton, the pastor of Redemption Church in Alabama, had already announced he would not run for a second perm as Baptist President.
“People’s lives have been damaged, hurt and ruined,” he said during the Feb. 22 meeting. “We all need to remain sober, yet determined, about this.”
Litton concluded his video message Tuesday by urging members of the SBC to focus on the important tasks that lie ahead, including being prepared to act in June on the report that will be delivered by the sexual abuse task force.
“We must keep working to eradicate the stains of sexual abuse and racism from the convention,” he said.
