Tennessee Baptist Leaders Required to Publicize Their Adherence to Subservient Treatment of Women

Originally published at Free Tennessee:

The Associated Baptist Press is reporting that Tennessee Baptists voted overwhelmingly yesterday to require their leaders to publicize their adherence to a creed called the "Baptist Faith and Message (2000 Version)."  That creed affirms that the Christian Bible is completely free from any historic or factual error and will be the "supreme standard" for human conduct "until the end of the world."  It also encourages the teaching that women are subservient, rather than equal to men based on the earlier affirmation of biblical inerrancy.
