At their annual meeting in Indianapolis, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is addressing several contentious topics, including the role of women in the church and the ethics of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has been a vocal advocate for a resolution condemning IVF, citing ethical concerns.
The convention is also debating a measure to officially ban women pastors, a topic that has historically divided the denomination. These discussions come amidst broader debates within the church on modernity, ethics, and the interpretation of religious doctrine.
The outcomes of these debates could significantly influence the direction of the Southern Baptist Convention and its stance on key social issues.

It's about time we get back to the biblical basics on these issues; modernity shouldn't compromise our longstanding values.
