Sorry this has left you heavy-hearted. The heavy lifting and vocal presence of folks like you, Scot, Kristin, Mike, & Jemar (and others) has helped a lot of us stay sane over the last few years!
Thank you. Thank you for listening to all the happenings. Thank you for tweeting, and writing, and talking, again and again and again. You, Kate Shellnutt, Liam Adams, Dwight McKissic, and so many others reporting and posting have given substance and focus for my prayers this week.
My own Baptist roots are Swedish Baptist (Midwest), but before that my grandparents and generations before the were SBC in TN and NC. Firmly believing in the "community of Saints" the events of the past week have broken and grieved me to the core. Thank you for your willingness to bring historical perspective and to stand in witness.
Rest well, brave heart. Looking forward to hearing about your time across the pond.
Anyone else find the irony that Mike Law did not attend any Baptist seminary rather the Reformed Theological Seminary? Looks like he was mentored by Mark Dever too. My son is working to provide some additional edits to the documentary. He made about the role of women in church. I anticipate it being a fantastic tool in the coming days. Dr. Barr is included in the interview.
I have been distancing myself from SBC for sometime, but this week felt like a death with more to come.
Appreciate your words, voice, scholarship, wisdom, leadership and calling.

Thank you for continuing to speak up on behalf of all women. And for expaining this so well for us non-baptist folk.
