The Fundamentalist Takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention
About this episode
The episode explores the takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention and its implications for current political trends in the U.S.
On this very special episode we dig into the takeover of the Southern Baptist convention and analyze how it is a preview our current right wing take over of the country as well as its juicy Left Behind connections. This should be a niche topic that folks hear about, are aghast by and move on from but unfortunately taking over a branch of a Baptist denomination was only the beginning and, even more unfortunately, was only trial run of their tactics. Fascinating stuff.
