….and the answer as to how you hold autonomous churches accountable is exactly what’s in the works; procedures by which a church can be expelled from the association. Let’s pray that the SBC does it well and uses this tool in the same way they’ve used their other tools to enforce some discipline.

Not to mention the rest of us.
