NASHVILLE — “You’ve been called a liberal, a Marxist and a denier of the sufficiency of Scripture.”
Danny Akin, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, faced the question posed by one of his sons, Nate, moderator of the B21 luncheon during the opening day of the Southern Baptist Convention’s June 15-16 annual meeting in Nashville.
Liberalism, race relations, critical race theory and women’s roles in the church and home took up most of the 40-minute exchange featuring Danny Akin, who leads Southeastern in North Carolina, along with five others: R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kentucky; Ed Litton, senior pastor of Redemption Church in the Mobile, Ala. area; Marshal Ausberry, senior pastor of Antioch Baptist Church in Fairfax Station, Va.; Juan Sanchez, senior pastor of High Pointe Baptist Church in Austin, Texas; and Donna Gaines, a Bible teacher and wife of Steve Gaines, pastor of the Memphis-area Bellevue Baptist Church in Cordova.
