The Southern Baptist Convention expelled Saddleback Church — the convention's second-largest church — this week for having a female pastor.
Congregants arrive at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. The Southern Baptist Convention expelled Saddleback Church Tuesday for having a female pastor.
The expulsion of the convention’s second-largest church was due to having a “female teaching pastor functioning in the office of pastor,” according to a vote by the convention’s Executive Committee, tThe comments are a reference to Stacie Wood, wife of current Saddleback lead pastor, Andy Wood. The Executive Committee’s motion said Saddleback “has a faith and practice that does not closely identify with the Convention’s adopted statement of faith, as demonstrated by the church having a female teaching pastor functioning in the office of pastor.”
Saddleback has the right to appeal the decision at the Southern Baptists’ next annual meeting scheduled for New Orleans in June.
