SBC Presidents said dumb stuff like Mormon Prophets?

This guy isn't SBC, but he's leader of an influential group who believe they are led by God in what they say:

"[Bryan] Fischer went on to say that Mormons are not entitled to freedom of religion under the First Amendment because that is only for Christians."

You can always find a nutjob who says stupid things, OC. This thread is about Jeff's allegation about the TOP LEADERSHIP in the SBC.

Not even close.

By the way.... SBC has, indeed, elected an African American Pastor as our President.

When the Southern Baptist Convention met Tuesday, it elected its first African American president, Fred Luter Jr., a former street preacher and current pastor of a church in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward.

Luter’s election marks a watershed moment for the SBC. The organization was founded in a split over slavery before the Civil War and for decades was a largely segregated, all-white denomination. It was not until 1995 that the organization adopted a resolution of racial reconciliation; it has come under scrutiny for racial insensitivity as recently as the Trayvon Martin case, when the president of its policy arm made racially charged comments about the case.
