After narrow key votes, Southern Baptists leave Dallas with bylaws unchanged ... and more news

from The Dallas Morning News · host The Dallas Morning News

A constitutional ban on women pastors and a proposal to abolish a public policy agency accused of compromising with leftists narrowly failed on the last day of this year’s Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas. Close margins on both key votes demonstrated the staunchly conservative views of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, which counts 12.7 million members. In other news, the guardian and family members of an 11-year-old boy who died two days ago in Wylie have been arrested on child abuse charges in connection with his death. The young boy was found unconscious by first responders at his home on Long Meadow Road Monday evening; the proposed change of AT&T Stadium to 'Dallas Stadium' to comply with FIFA rules during next year's World Cup may be tweaked to include 'Arlington' in the name. and a battle between two professional men’s soccer teams for a stake in Dallas’ sporting future ended with the City Council unanimously approving a contract that gives Atlético Dallas, a new USL team, the keys to Fair Park’s Cotton Bowl stadium and MoneyGram Soccer Complex for the next three years.
