Southern Baptists are starting a debate on a name change. It comes at a time when Southern Baptist baptisms are at the lowest in decades. Some Baptists are concerned that denomination's name poses some barriers, especially in church planting efforts in North America, where Southern Baptists like Albert Mohler want to spread homophobia and misogyny aka complementarianism. One Baptist said... We were established as an association of churches that would appoint slaveholders as missionaries. There is so much to celebrate in the heritage of our beloved denomination, but there is also a deep stain that is associated with slavery, the nation’s sectional division prior to and during the Civil War, and the legacy of racism.
