An Excerpt from “To Fix What’s Wrong, Here Is Where the Southern Baptist Convention Needs to Start”

Corporate guilt is one of the tenets of critical theory. According to critical theory, whites are guilty of racism simply because they are white and have supposedly benefited from a system that favors them over blacks. Blacks — even those who aren’t victims — are victims, simply because they are black.

Apply this approach to sexual abuse, and people are victims or abusers (or lean one way or the other) simply on the basis of their being women, or men, or accusers, or accused. Also, one gets the sense from SBC leadership that if you haven’t been actively opposing sexual abuse, you contributed to it in a positive way, as if you had promoted it. Rendering biblical justice doesn’t work this way. Rather, rendering biblical justice means working to make sure “everyone gets his due” — that which he or she actually deserves — based on actions taken as an individual.
