The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) voted on June 14 to create a “ministry check” website to track pastors and other church workers credibly accused of sexual abuse following a report that revealed how leaders had mishandled sexual abuse cases for years.
In May, Southern Baptist leaders published a nearly 300-page report (pdf) conducted by an independent firm detailing decades of sexual abuse and cover-ups within the denomination as leaders sought to protect their own reputations.
