(Reuters) - A senior official in the Southern Baptist Convention who had criticised former U.S. President Donald Trump is leaving his post with the influential evangelical organisation.
Russell Moore said in a statement he will leave the Convention s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission after eight years as its president. He will work for the evangelical magazine Christianity Today as a theologian.
Evangelicals have been strong supporters of right-wing American politics. In the U.S. presidential election in November, 76% of white evangelicals voted for Trump and 24% for Joe Biden, according to Edison Research exit polls.
