New SBC Policy Not Racist Enough for NC SCV
Posted by David Hudnall on Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 9:48 AM
...yesterday, the leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention — the largest Protestant organization in the world, with about fifteen million members — voted that members should cease displaying the Confederate flag.
"We recognize that the Confederate battle flag is used by some and perceived by many as a symbol of hatred, bigotry, and racism, offending millions of people," the SBC's resolution states. "And...we recognize that, while the removal of the Confederate battle flag from public display is not going to solve the most severe racial tensions that plague our nation and churches, those professing Christ are called to extend grace and put the consciences of others ahead of their own interests and actions."
An encouraging, if tardy, step in the right direction for a group with a whole lot of racism in its past.
The North Carolina Sons of Confederate Veterans .. are just NOT ON BOARD ...
