Jimmy Carter leaves Southern Baptists to stew in their own sexism.

[Pyrrho]

.. my decision to sever my ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, after six decades, was painful and difficult. It was, however, an unavoidable decision when the convention's leaders, quoting a few carefully selected Bible verses and claiming that Eve was created second to Adam and was responsible for original sin, ordained that women must be "subservient" to their husbands and prohibited from serving as deacons, pastors or chaplains in the military service.

I like me some Jimmy Carter.

Better late than never, but it took him a long time.
