Southern Baptist Convention Denounces 'Alt-Right' White Supremacists Following Backlash

[Cripplecreek]

In a nearly unanimous vote, Southern Baptist Convention condemned Wednesday the “alt-right” movement and passed a resolution affirming the denomination’s opposition to white supremacy. The vote took place on the second the day of the annual convention in Phoenix, a day after the proposal to condemn "alt-right”, a movement that advocates white supremacy, divided convention leaders and triggered backlash on social media.

The convention voted to "decry every form of racism, including alt-right white supremacy as antithetical to the Gospel of Jesus Christ" and "denounce and repudiate white supremacy and every form of racial and ethnic hatred as a scheme of the devil."
