Can fundamentalism Be Reformed?

Several of us have teamed up to host a blog called RE:Fundamentals.  We desired to Renew, Reform, and Revive fundamentalism. We’ve recently let the blog go out of date with very little posting going on, as we are all so busy.  At the same time, we’re asking whether or not Baptist fundamentalism (not historic...

FBFI Resolution on Abuse

It seems that the Fundamentalist Baptist Fellowship International has before them a resolution on sexual abuse. It is getting some interesting comments on Sharper Iron, with several of them being against it for various reasons. There is also a blog that supports it, and a FaceBook page for supporters of it.  A “recovering fundamentalist”...

Hot and Dry

Though we were blessed with a rain today in parts of our county, it has been very hot and dry. This dry spell has had profound effects on churches in our area: It seems that the Baptists have  abandoned immersion and started sprinkling, the Methodists have begun using wet wipes, and the Catholics have...

Opinion: John Jay report holds lessons for Baptists

  Despite all the many other ways in which Southern Baptist churches cooperate, Southern Baptist officials have propounded the doctrine of local church autonomy as an excuse for denominational do-nothingness on clergy sex abuse. This religious rationalization rests on an island that is void of any moral ground. If Baptist churches cannot cooperate on...

Wouldn’t that be a good idea? Someone obviously thought so. Louisiana College, a small Southern Baptist college in Pineville, La., plans to open a tuition-free graduate school for ministers next August.

A Sensitive Subject Gets Many Hits

Yesterday I posted about the welcome Fred Phelps and Westboro “Baptist Church” received in Mississippi.  That post has received about 2,000 clicks alone in 24 hours.  That amazes me.

To lump all IB churches together into one pot of cultic abuse is slanderous.I have personally preached in hundreds of IB churches whose pastors do not demand “unquestioning loyalty,” whose pastors are humble men who know that they are under discipline just like...

Schaap Responds to The 20/20 Coverage of Sexual Abuse And Coverups in IFB-dom.

Stuff Fundies Like has a video of Jack Schaap of FBC Hammond, Indiana responding to the 20/20 coverage of sexual abuse and coverups in Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches. Schaap represents so much that is wrong with IFBX-dom. “If it’s arrogant; so be it.” That’s the essence of it all, I think.  So many of...
