Abstract

The article focuses on the author's reflections on their upbringing in a Southern Baptist congregation and the ongoing patriarchal dynamics within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The author recounts experiences with male pastors who exhibited troubling behaviors and highlights the recent decision by the SBC to disfellowship churches with female pastors, including Saddleback Church in California. The piece critiques the SBC's historical roots in patriarchal and racist ideologies, emphasizing the detrimental impact of its theology on women and marginalized groups. The author contrasts their past experiences with a more inclusive faith community led by a female pastor, advocating for a faith that embraces questions and diverse perspectives.
