Most Pastors Say Election of Black Leader Would Be Good for Southern Baptists

„The Southern Baptist Convention has long dealt with the issue of race, but now the majority of pastors of the America’s largest Protestant denomination say they are ready to have an African-American as their leader.

Amid anticipation that the Rev. Fred Luter from Louisiana will be elected as SBC’s first-ever African-American president next month, a survey shows that 86 percent of pastors say the likely historic shift in the leadership would be good for the convention.”
