Southern Baptist Convention Adopts
“Critical Race Theory”—A Dangerous
Marxist “Solution” That Will Not Work
n November 25th, 2019, Lighthouse Trails received a link to a YouTube documentary
titled “The Stain of Albert Mohler” 1 that documents how the Southern Baptist Con-
vention (SBC) passed “Resolution 9” this past summer (2019) which adopts “Critical Race
Theory” (a theory that claims to be a solution to ending racism but according to critics is
actually a theory enveloped in Marxism).
A June 18th 2019 Federalist article titled, “In Last-Minute Move, Southern Baptist Conven-
tion Supports Anti-Christian Racial Identity Politics,”
expresses concerns over the resolution:
The largest Protestant denomination in North
America, the Southern Baptist Convention
(SBC), officially adopted “critical race theory” and
“intersectionality” as “analytical tools” to be used
in fostering racial reconciliation in the church.
These key drivers of identity politics, however, are
more likely to produce racial discord and strike at
Christianity itself. 2
A OneNewsNow article titled “Critical Race Theory—A Bait-and-Switch Tactic Infiltrating
the Church” further explains the issue:

Critical Race Theory (often referred to as CRT) teaches that American culture is rife
with white supremacy and baked-in racism, and is used—often subconsciously—to
hold women and people of color back. According to pastor and talk-show host Abraham
Hamilton III, it’s the philosophy behind identity politics and comes straight out of
the Marxist playbook.
“[CRT] doesn’t depend on your personal feeling, sentiment, [or] heart condition—it’s
based on the group that you’re born into,” [Hamilton] explained recently on American
Family Radio. “It completely eliminates individual responsibility, individual sin and
expands it to corporate sin. And based on how you’re born, you are immediately ascribed
into an ‘oppressor’ or ‘oppressed’ group.” . . .
