BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (RNS) — Southern Baptists, faced in recent months with hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse in its ranks, have overwhelmingly adopted changes to governing documents that will bring greater visibility to their desire to disaffiliate with churches that do not handle instances of abuse properly.

A new standing “Credentials Committee” also will consider whether churches are not “in friendly cooperation” for that and other reasons, including involvement in “discriminatory behavior on the basis of ethnicity.”

Delegates, called messengers, also voted Tuesday (June 11) at their annual meeting to amend the constitution of the Southern Baptist Convention so that it will make explicit that churches that mishandle cases of abuse or racial discrimination are not welcome.

“I believe this is a very, very significant moment in the history of the Southern Baptist Convention,” said new SBC Executive Committee President Ronnie Floyd.

He said the nation’s largest Protestant denomination has “given a clear signal not only about what we believe about sexual abuse, but we also stand against all ethnic discrimination in the United States and around the world.”

The constitutional amendments will need to be considered a second time at next year’s annual meeting before they can become official.

When Jonathan Pitts hit the send button on his computer the afternoon of July 24, 2018, to send the book that he and his wife Wynter had worked on, he felt a sense of relief. He can remember the day like it was yesterday. The family was in Dallas, visiting family and friends. The Pitts had just moved to Nashville where Jonathan had accepted the role of executive pastor at City Church and they were eager to begin their new life.

Four hours after sending the book to the publisher, Jonathan was faced with the overwhelming heartache of losing his wife suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 38.

Jonathan and Wynter had been married for 15 years. Wynter—the niece of influential pastor Tony Evans—was a successful author, speaker, and entrepreneur who had overcome her own odds. Their best days were ahead of them, with four beautiful girls representing their love for one another.

In a rare interview with Christian Headlines, Jonathan speaks candidly about being a widower and brings us up to date on how he and the girls are doing.

CH: How are you doing?

JP: There’s a hopefulness that I’ve had, even in the moments of thinking that my wife might be leaving this earth. There’s a hopefulness I’ve had—and continue to have—because what I believe is what I believe. It’s been the most difficult moment of my life. I, however, believe that for…
