Center for Baptist Leadership New Boss, Same Problems: Four More Years of Failure at the ERLC Part 1 (ft. Jon Whitehead)
In today's episode of the Center for Baptist Leadership podcast, William Wolfe sits down with John Whitehead, an Attorney and ERLC Trustee to discuss the ongoing issues at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Whitehead criticizes the lack of change since Russell Moore's departure, highlighting the commission's poor management, understaffing, and controversial actions, such as signing a letter opposing an abortion abolition bill and advocating for increased military aid to Ukraine. Whitehead also raises concerns about the ERLC's ties to the Evangelical Immigration Table, which is influenced by George Soros funding, as well as the lack of transparency and accountability within the organization.
