The convention came on the heels of leaked letters written by Russell Moore, the former president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the convention’s public policy arm. In the letters, Moore alleged that the Southern Baptist Convention’s executive committee mishandled sexual abuse claims and mistreated victims. The executive committee then hired Guidepost Solutions to conduct an independent review of its processes. Some, however, called for the independent review to be expanded, an effort the executive committee shot down Monday.  And the day before the convention officially began, a Georgia pastor released a statement saying that members of the executive committee and others did not do enough to stop abuse at a Georgia church.
