Summary

Alongside the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) annual meeting 2025 the Center for Baptist Leadership hosted the "For the Faithful Majority Conference," William Wolfe emphasized the importance of the SBC's strength and fidelity to the Bible. He highlighted the 40th anniversary of W.A. Criswell's sermon and his personal conversion story. The event featured keynote speaker Steve Deace, sponsor booths, and panels discussing the SBC's integrity, financial transparency, and the role of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). A motion to abolish the ERLC was proposed, and Rhett Burns advocated for 990-level transparency to enhance trust and accountability. The meeting concluded with a call to action for messengers to participate in upcoming votes. In this panel, Dr. Willy Rice, Jon Whitehead, Rhett Burns, Dr. David Schrock, and Steve Gentry emphasize the need for financial transparency within the SBC and ERLC. –––––– Follow Center for Baptist Leadership across Social Media: X / Twitter – https://twitter.com/BaptistLeaders Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/people/Center-For-Baptist-Leadership/61556762144277/ Rumble – https://rumble.com/c/c-6157089 YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@CenterforBaptistLeadership Website – https://centerforbaptistleadership.org/ To book William for media appearances or speaking engagements, please contact him at media@centerfor­baptistleadership.org.
