(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The 2026 Southern Baptist Convention was not looking to amount to much, but when the final gavel had sounded, the scoreboard told a story of an unlikely resurgence in Baptist life. The liberals were soundly defeated
Presidential Race
As previously reported, Willy Rice soundly defeated Josh Powell in the presidential race with 57.56% of the vote in a 2 man race. Even with homefield advantage, it was an upset that the anti-establishment candidate, specifically a man booted from the establishment, would beat their guy.
Mohler Amendment
Al Mohler’s amendment also prevailed. Mohler was first to make a motion in the first morning session. And in that afternoon, they won a critical procedural vote to have the amendment voted on at this convention as opposed to throwing it at the mercy of an Executive Committee helmed by liberal Jeff Iorg. After suspending standing rule 6, the next morning was the vote. There was little debate. Before lunch, it was announced that the amendment had passed with 74.66% of the vote, a 3-1 ratio with a record high 6028 votes against a record low 2026 votes (record for this amendment).
