Baptist Abusers

Christa Brown is trying to get the Southern Baptist Convention to deal with the victims of sexual abuse within the church – including her. The Austin lawyer says a youth minister abused her four decades ago. She’s created a Web site to help other victims called Stop Baptist Predators. She wants church leaders to identify abusers within their ranks so they cannot continue to take advantage of others. The Southern Baptist Convention meets this week in Indianapolis. The last time they got together, leaders agreed to consider creating a database of credibly accused, admitted and convicted sexual abusers.
