(RNS) — Southern Baptists, faced in recent months with hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse in its ranks, have overwhelmingly adopted changes to governing documents that will bring greater visibility to their desire to disaffiliate with churches that do not handle instances of abuse properly.</p> <p>A new standing “Credentials Committee” also will consider whether churches are not “in friendly cooperation” for that and other reasons, including involvement in “discriminatory behavior on the basis of ethnicity.”</p> <p>Delegates, called messengers, also voted Tuesday (June 11) at their annual meeting to amend the constitution of the Southern Baptist Convention so that it will make explicit that churches that mishandle cases of abuse or racial discrimination are not welcome.</p> <p>“I believe this is a very, very significant moment in the history of the Southern Baptist Convention,” said new SBC Executive Committee President Ronnie Floyd.</p> <p>He said the nation’s largest Protestant denomination has “given a clear signal not only about what we believe about sexual abuse, but we also stand against all ethnic discrimination in the United States and around the world.”</p> <p>The constitutional amendments will need to be considered a second time at next year’s annual meeting before they can become official.</p> <div id="attachment_3766487" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 427px;"><img class="wp-image-3766487 size-medium" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_007-427x303.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="303" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_007-427x303.jpg 427w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_007-300x213.jpg 300w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_007-768x546.jpg 768w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_007-807x573.jpg 807w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_007-990x704.jpg 990w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_007-600x426.jpg 600w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_007.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px"/> <p class="wp-caption-text edd-enabled"><span class="caption">Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee President Ronnie Floyd speaks during the SBC's annual meeting at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex in Birmingham, Ala., on June 11, 2019.

She noted a new report from a Sexual Abuse Advisory Group commissioned by SBC President J.D. Greear and new training, including a video series and a handbook on a “caring well” theme, released last week.</p> <p>She credited the work of activists and victims of abuse for prompting the denomination to act.</p> <p>“People stood up and spoke up,” said Summers. "What we are doing matters. It is making a difference, so keep standing up. Keep speaking up. We will continue to speak for those who imagine they are the only ones living a private nightmare.”</p> <p>Still, she said, there is much more to be done.</p> <p>She and other advocates would like the SBC to develop a database documenting convicted and credibly accused abusers and to provide mandatory training to help clergy and seminary students recognize and address abuse.</p> <p>In February, the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News published a joint investigation of sexual misconduct allegations against about 380 current and former Southern Baptist ministers and volunteers. In late May, the Chronicle detailed <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551/https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/investigations/article/Abuse-of-Faith-Missionaries-left-trail-of-abuse-13904418.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">allegations of cover-ups of abuse by five male missionaries</a>.</p> <div id="gallery-2" class="gallery galleryid-3766387 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium"><dl class="gallery-item"> <dt class="gallery-icon landscape"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551/https://religionnews.com/2019/06/11/southern-baptists-approve-amendments-dealing-with-sexual-abuse-racism/southern-baptist-convention-2019-111/"><img width="427" height="283" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_028-1-427x283.jpg" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="" aria-describedby="gallery-2-3766536" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_028-1-427x283.jpg 427w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_028-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_028-1-768x509.jpg 768w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_028-1-807x535.jpg 807w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_028-1-130x86.jpg 130w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_028-1-470x313.jpg 470w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_028-1-990x656.jpg 990w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_028-1-600x398.jpg 600w, https://web.archive.org/web/20201007015551im_/https://religionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/web_SBC_028-1.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px"/></a> </dt> <dd class="wp-caption-text gallery-caption" id="gallery-2-3766536"> Christa Brown talks about her abuse at a rally outside the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex on June 11, 2019, in Birmingham, Ala.
