Ya' all know that #SBC thing where #Saddleback and #FernCreek got ousted 'cos they had female pastors? Well, I'm finding it kinda hard to put any energy into being worried about this - since those two churches did NOT back women's choice/abortion rights.
Those two churches should go whine about being ousted elsewhere until they get right with #women on those issues...then we'll back them in their beliefs...

“The #SouthernBaptistConvention voted overwhelming Wednesday to uphold earlier decisions to expel two churches because they have #WomenPastors.”

I can't believe that this could happen here in the US in 2023. Bizarre...

Looking across to the #LakeDistrict and#Blencathra, the #Saddleback Mountain, floating in a sea of #inversion #cloud .
