The 2026 Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) Annual Meeting took place June 7-10 in the Orlando Convention Center, preceded by the SBC Pastor’s Conference on June 7-8. A ban voted for in each of the last three annual meetings was strengthened by an initial step toward passing a constitutional amendment that would ban women from teaching scripture or preaching to congregations within the denomination. This year’s vote was 6,028 to 2,026, a 3-to-1 margin, which easily exceeded the required two-thirds majority. It will require a similar two-thirds vote at next year’s meeting to become part of the official constitution. In my book, “The Bible and Women: How Did I Miss So Much?”, I addressed earlier actions by the SBC, especially related to Rick Warren and the famous Saddleback Church in Southern California. The SBC’s view of the role of women in churches is very similar to the majority view in my own family of churches. On the one hand, I am patient with those holding a view that I have now rejected, and on the other hand, I have the impatience that often accompanies the discovery of a new, more biblical view. Once you see that new truth, you simply cannot unsee it. It now seems so obvious that you wonder how you missed it for so long. This explains the title of my book mentioned above.I missed so much because I was mistaught the subject initially, which then required unlearning in order to learn or relearn. Error, once accepted, has a blinding effect on seeing things differently. If we had started at the beginning on this topic, the establishment of the church, the error could have been avoided. Peter, in preaching the first gospel sermon after Christ’s resurrection, quoted a passage from the prophet Joel showing the new role of women in this newly established church. Acts 2:17-18 (NIV) 17 “ ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. Joel states twice that both males and females would prophesy. Either they did or both Joel and Peter were wrong. 1 Corinthians 11 shows that they did. In that historical setting, both men and women had dress or appearance codes to abide by, but both prophesied. Joel wasn’t wrong; Peter wasn’t wrong. But due to being mistaught, so many miss this truth, a truth hiding in plain sight. How could we miss something this obvious? At a deeper level, it is due to being immersed in what is called “patriarchy” without realizing it. (My book digs into this unsavory subject in some detail.) At a surface level, it is due to misinterpreting a verse in 1 Corinthians 14 by allowing it to contradict a truth already established in 1 Corinthians 11 (and Joel 2 and Acts 2). My recently posted article deals with this very unfortunate misinterpretation and what contributed to the misinterpretation. I hope you read it and pass it on to others. Thank you. ...
