Departing President of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), J.D. Greear, has used his final message to the Executive Committee to demand that the church engages constructively with Critical Race Theory (CRT).
The talk coincided with the much-publicised decision of leading Bible teacher Beth Moore – a longstanding critic of Donald Trump – to quit the SBC, saying ‘I can no longer identify with Southern Baptists.’
CRT is an academic movement of civil-rights scholars and activists who seek to examine critically the law as it intersects with issues of race, and to challenge mainstream liberal approaches to racial justice.
