Hispanic Baptists heard calls for unity—organizationally and in individual relations—throughout multiple gatherings held in conjunction with the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Dallas.

Believing and trusting in the supernatural abilities of God are key to overcoming all obstacles the Southern Baptist Convention is facing, said Steve Gaines, who completed his second year as the convention’s president.

Evangelistic emphases prior to the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Dallas produced 4,229 professions of faith in Christ, including 2,339 at a crusade event at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

A key architect of the “conservative resurgence” in the Southern Baptist Convention withdrew from an opportunity to address the SBC, and messengers to the annual meeting elected the youngest SBC president in nearly 40 years.

At the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Dallas, messengers talked about future possibilities for women in a denomination that walks a “complementarian” line—belief that women and men are equal before God but have different roles in church and home life.

Paige Patterson has withdrawn from preaching the convention sermon at the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Dallas.

An attorney for terminated Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary President Paige Patterson issued a media release defending Patterson against alleged “wide-spread misrepresentation and misinformation.”

Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary cut remaining ties to its former president, Paige Patterson, stripping him of titles and benefits after the trustees’ executive committee confirmed “new information” about how he mishandled rape allegations at a school he served previously.
