The SBC creates a hotline for victims and releases names of some abusers while one Executive Committee member frets about the bill.
“It can’t be about the dollars. It’s got to be about the people," Rolland Slade, SBC executive committee chairman, said about the organization's response to revelations it covered up reports of sexual abuse for decades.The Southern Baptist Convention has been trying to find a path to clarity in its churches and a way to best aid victims after being accused of covering up decades of sexual abuse.
“This list is being made public for the first time as an initial, but important, step towards addressing the scourge of sexual abuse and implementing reform in the Convention,” Rolland Slade, SBC executive committee chairman, and McLaurin wrote in a joint statement. “Each entry in this list reminds us of the devastation and destruction brought about by sexual abuse.
Joe Knott, committee member and lawyer, said he was terrified about this entire endeavor and was worried about the expense of lawyers and feared the SBC might have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to potential victims.
