The Southern Baptist Convention recently voted for their members to stop flying the Confederate flag.
The Southern Baptist Convention voted overwhelmingly to repudiate the display of the Confederate battle flag.
The proposed resolution spoke about the way that many people fly the flag out of a sense of family history or honor.
The convention voted to strike that language.
The committee version called for Southern Baptists to limit the display of the flag and to consider stop flying it altogether.
The convention decided stronger language was in order.
They voted to say this,
We call our brothers and sisters in Christ to discontinue the display of the Confederate battle flag as a sign of solidarity of the whole body of Christ, including our African American brothers and sisters.
While the Confederate battle flag has absolutely nothing to do with race whatsoever, even though that's the way it's portrayed in the media,
the Southern Baptist Convention has voted to highly encourage their members to stop flying the flag.
