Baptists Reject Sex Database

The Southern Baptist Convention has rejected calls for it to identify sex offenders within its ranks. Instead of creating a database, messengers meeting in Indianapolis are leaving it up to local churches to take action against offenders. That means a Souther Baptist pastor convicted of a sex crime could simply move to another area of the country and the new congregation would have no idea of the man's past.
