4 years running, Southern Baptists weigh tightening ban on churches with women pastors

Southern Baptists are again debating a proposed constitutional ban on women serving in any pastoral role (not just senior pastor), a fight that’s drawn figures like Albert Mohler and pushback from critics such as Beth Moore.
The denomination remains a political bellwether for white conservative evangelicals and continues to show strong support for Donald Trump, even as leaders parse specific policy and moral disagreements.
The SBC is shrinking (membership at its lowest since 1973) despite a rise in baptisms, and delegates will also weigh resolutions on humane immigration language and condemning antisemitic violence.
