“I will never forget the day that Uncle – a Baptist missionary – saw the split of the SBC over the roles of women with such disgust. He looked at us and told us, “If I had known they were going down this road with their attitudes towards women? I wouldn’t have chosen to be a Baptist when I decided to do my work for the Lord.””

It hurt many because they eventually required missionaries to sign a document saying that women should not teach men. Now think if you are in in Africa and your husband is out in the bush for days working with planted churches…. Yes, you are going to teach men who show up at your straw hut church.

But because they refused to lie and sign the document, they had to leave. Some are my family members who had been in Africa 18 years. They offered to sign their bible but that was not good enough for the PP’s and Al Mohlers of the SBC.
