Southern Baptists Push for Same-Sex Marriage Ban and Reversal of Supreme Court Ruling

The Southern Baptist Convention overwhelmingly endorsed a ban on gay marriage, calling for the reversal of legal precedents like Obergefell v. Hodges, and emphasized conservative policies on family and morality. The convention also addressed ongoing issues of sexual abuse within the church, with advocates criticizing the denomination's insufficient reforms and mourning the death of abuse survivor Jennifer Lyell. Despite internal conflicts and calls for reform, the convention maintains a conservative stance on social issues and church policies.
