In the Southern Baptist Convention, you can’t question Russell Moore or the newly-woke coalition of pro-Social Gospel entity heads. In the new Fascist Regime of the New SBC, even meetings ostensibly designed to ask questions, seek clarifications, and voice opinions are for show only. Moderators of these meetings, the self-glorified hall monitors, perceive themselves as bouncers playing interference, putting questioners in their place and protecting the SBC elite from having to answer any inconvenient questions.
(JD Hall – Pulpit & Pen) Russell Moore is the head of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). He is, as Wikipedia points out, a Christian Democrat and Communitarian. He is also a former Democratic staffer, one of the most vociferous critics of President Donald Trump, works for George Soros on his Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT), and has led the ERLC to embrace animal rights, environmentalism, a softening tone on homosexuality, and Critical Race Theory. …
When he defended his ERLC research fellow, gay-affirming feminist and animal rights activist, Karen Swallow Prior at the SBC annual meeting, Moore had another ERLC employee, Brent Leatherwood, call the police on a member of the press because they asked Moore questions about Prior’s support for the pro-LGBT Revoice Conference.
Many Southern Baptists are rightly upset with Moore, and not just because he’s called conservatives who believe in national sovereignty “idolaters” for wanting a border wall, or because POTUS called him “a very nasty guy with no heart,” or because his research fellows are out there saying that Trump supporters “lost their soul” by voting for him. Many Southern Baptists are upset with Moore because he’s assisted a Mosque’s construction in New Jersey, but opposed the right to religious conscience on gay marriage. They are upset that Moore has coalesced himself with the most radical Cultural Marxists, Liberation theologians, and Critical Race Theorists on the planet. They’re upset that he’s aligned himself with Roman Catholics, but shunned and repeatedly reprimanded conservative Baptists. Some are legitimately upset that Moore has repeatedly been on the wrong side of ethics issues and advocates for policies not conducive to national sovereignty, which is the single greatest bulwark and defender of religious liberty on planet Earth. And some, are speaking out.
When one Thomas Littleton asked Moore questions, he was forcefully kicked out of the SBC’s annual meeting. When another reporter asked Moore about Karen Swallow Prior’s support for the pro-LGBT Revoice Conference, he was rebuked and Prior defended. When another SBC messenger tried to express displeasure with Moore at the annual meeting, he was rebuked by the moderator and cautioned not to speak ill of the SBC’s inglorious leaders.
In the Southern Baptist Convention, you can’t question Russell Moore or the newly-woke coalition of pro-Social Gospel entity heads.

Moderators of these meetings, the self-glorified hall monitors, perceive themselves as bouncers playing interference, putting questioners in their place and protecting the SBC elite from having to answer any inconvenient questions. This was seen Tuesday when the moderator of an OPEN FORUM (I’m using ALL CAPS because I’m screaming it right now) shut down a Southern Baptist pastor expressing displeasure in the way Russell Moore is leading the SBC.
The Baptist “Press” reports:
Paul Hicks, pastor of Good Shepherd Community Church in Hayden, Ala., said he has heard from individuals in the state and beyond expressing dissatisfaction “almost unanimously” with the ERLC and its president, Russell Moore.
EC chairman Mike Stone, pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Blackshear, Ga., intervened to note that the open forum was a time for expressing concern about issues and not personalities.
