SBC Abuse Crisis Revisited

Four years after a damning report exposed Southern Baptist leaders suppressing abuse cases and blocking reforms, the denomination’s new leadership is pushing back—calling the investigation a “snipe hunt” and downplaying the crisis. While survivors say they’ve faced retaliation for speaking out and still lack any safe reporting system, promised reforms like a database for accused workers never materialized.

Critics argue the decentralized structure of the SBC makes accountability nearly impossible, and the core problem—no real mechanism to protect victims—remains unresolved.
