::::I wish you'd admit that you don't know very much about this issue, or at least read a little bit of what I've linked to. As someone who comes from a Southern Baptist family and grew up with this conflict, I'm saying absolutely that the church has moved further and further to the right, systematically jettisoning liberals and moderates, and this explains their drop in numbers. Those who remain are some of the staunchest Republican "values" voters who take strong stands on conservative social issues. The move toward liberalism that you're claiming is non-existent.

:::::As I've said, I have an open mind about this (and all other issues).  But your comments, with sprinkled personal put-downs, are not persuasive.  The ''membership'' of the SBC, like the entire nation, is becoming more conservative.  But the ''leadership'' of the SBC is not.  And that mismatch causes dissatisfaction and departure.  The political controversies in religious institutions tend to be more important than the theological ones throughout history, and the SBC leadership's recent disfavoring of homeschooling while embracing Obama is very significant.  Of course more evidence that is timely is welcome.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:40, 26 June 2009 (EDT)
