A relatively quiet legal brief filed by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in a Kentucky Supreme Court case has ignited a firestorm of controversy and led to significant criticism from abuse survivors and reform advocates within the denomination. The SBC's amicus brief in the case, which deals with expanding the statute of limitations for abuse victims to sue third parties, including religious institutions, has raised questions about the church's stance on accountability for abuse. This brief has disrupted ongoing reform efforts within the SBC, which have gained momentum following revelations of widespread abuse within the denomination.The case revolves around a woman who sued several parties, including the Louisville Police Department, alleging they knew about and had a duty to report the sexual abuse she suffered as a child by her father, a police officer. While the case does not seem directly related to the SBC, the denomination's lawyers filed a brief in April opposing the expansion of the statute of limitations for abuse victims to sue third parties. This move has been met with strong opposition within the SBC.
