Jennifer Lyell moved to replace Roger Spradlin with Susan Codone on the newly forming Credentials Committee. Susan shared her story at the ERLC Abuse forum Monday night and Jennifer said she would be the only abuse survivor on the committee.
Chair Bucky Kennedy and EC chair Mike Stone spoke against the amendment. It failed and the report passed.
Jennifer Lyell did not sound like a complementarian. She might be one. But she didnt sound like one to me. She said something like “adding this person to the board would make it a majority female committee, the first of it’s kind. With this change, women can lead us into the future.”
I’d be surprised if that is what the majority of the pastors present are hoping for.
