“The decision of the SBC to withdraw is indeed a sad day in the history of our organization,” said Denton Lotz, General Secretary.
“Many letters and voices of Baptists from around the world have asked the question why?” said Lotz. “Why are the Southern Baptists leaving us. We have worked together for 100 years. Why in this day when nations are fighting with one another, with terrorist attacks from within and without. Why now?”
“We do not really understand why in spite of many words,” Lotz said. The BWA rejects the allegations that it holds aberrant theological views, is anti-American and anti-capitalist and did not follow proper procedures when it admitted the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) into its membership, all reasons used to buttress the SBC’s argument to leave the BWA.
In the end, Lotz says, “God is the judge and one day in His grace, all truth will come to light and He will be the judge of all of us.”
