Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality: A useful analytical tool or a dangerous ideology (or both)?

February 1, 2020 by Todd Benkert

The debate in the Southern Baptist world about Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality (CRT/I) continues. As new questions and possible actions about Resolution 9 emerge, many are asking the question: Is CRT/I a useful analytical tool or a dangerous ideology? I submit that it is both. Previously, Albert Mohler has spoken forthrightly about the issue […]

At the #CaringWell conference last week, Rachael Denhollander recommended that Southern Baptists read Christa Brown’s book, This Little Light: Beyond a Baptist Preacher Predator and His Gang.[i] I read the book after receiving a copy at the For Such a Time as This rally at the SBC Annual Meeting in Birmingham at the recommendation of […]

Caring Well Conference – Day 3 Recap

October 7, 2019 by Todd Benkert

I found it difficult to complete my recap series and summarize day three’s morning session—First, because the talks were so rich and full of compelling content that it’s difficult to condense into a concise summary and, second, because even 48hrs later, I remain physically, spiritually, and emotionally exhausted. This conference was one of the most […]

Caring Well Conference – Day 2 Recap

October 5, 2019 by Todd Benkert

Much of day 2 was taken up with breakout sessions, 4 in total out of 12 options. I won’t take time here to cover those because I could not attend them all and they are not easy to summarize. Note, however, that the sessions were recorded and I believe will be available online in the […]

#CaringWell: An Opportunity for the SBC and My Local Church

October 3, 2019 by Todd Benkert

In a few hours, the ERLC’s much anticipated National Conference “Caring Well: Equipping Churches to Confront the Abuse Crisis” will begin.

Before the Conference – Acknowledging Problems Surrounding #CaringWell

Tomorrow, more 1,600 Southern Baptists will gather in Dallas Texas for the ERLC’s “Caring Well” Conference.

It’s no secret that one of the major issues we’ll be facing today and tomorrow as we convene our annual meeting is sexual abuse and how we will respond to it as a Convention. President Greear indicated last night during the ERLC panel discussion on sexual abuse that we would have numerous opportunities during our […]

The SBC Annual Meeting – Putting it in perspective

June 10, 2019 by Todd Benkert

It’s an annual ritual that I explained to some of my church friends is a combination of a business meeting, worship gathering, family reunion, and trade show. I’ve been attending the SBC Annual […]
