💨 Abstract

The Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting in Dallas saw over 10,000 attendees, despite tensions from recent scandals and the death of abuse whistleblower Jennifer Lyell. The gathering marked growing optimism and baptisms but was overshadowed by Lyell's death and critics’ claims of insufficient action following abuse allegations. Advocates called for more reforms, criticizing the SBC's lack of progress and hollow promises.
