Controversial Pro-abortion Pastor Decides to Leave SBC After Vote for Restrictions on Women Pastors

In 2021, a controversial, outspoken Southern Baptist pastor announced to the world that he would be leading his church out of his state’s local Baptist convention and possibly the Southern Baptist Convention after several SBC leaders announced plans to repeal a resolution that affirmed Critical Race Theory.

McKissic, a Marxist and a socialist egalitarian has regularly traded the gospel and the mission of the Church for social activism, called for slave reparations, and repeatedly maligned true defenders of the faith as “racists” and “white supremacists.”

Not only has McKissic stated that the founders of the Southern Baptist Convention were not saved because they were slave-holders and that their history must be eradicated, but he has also argued that voting for pro-abortion Democrats is no different than voting for Republicans who want to “place children in cages.”

McKissic has been instrumental in the Southern Baptist Convention’s hard slide to the left in recent years. Dwight McKissic sponsored an anti-“alt-right” resolution at the Southern Baptist Convention in 2017 which basically denounced conservatism and implied that Trump supporters were racist, white supremacists.

In an article he penned, titled We Are Getting Off the Bus, he wrote,

In November 2020, the SBTC adopted a strongly worded, anti-CRT policy that denounces all aspects of Critical Race Theory.  There are certain aspects of CRT I also disagree with. For instance, if it is an accurate representation of CRT teachings that only Whites can be racists, I totally disagree with that premise. Racism is a sin. And there is not one sin a Black person is incapable of committing, including racism. However, there are beneficial aspects of CRT that cannot be denied. And because the SBTC, and it appears the SBC, are poised to deny any beneficial aspects of CRT, in a most dishonest fashion, I have decided to get off the bus.
