Ministers who have brought scandal to the Southern Baptist Convention: A-K
These are just SOME of the men who have brought scandal to the Southern Baptist Convention. It is only the tip of the iceberg.
The Southern Baptist Convention does not make denominational assessments of "credibly accused" clergy child molesters in the way that Catholics and other major Protestant groups do. Nor does it keep records on clergy who admit to facts constituting child sex abuse. Nor does it have denominational processes for "defrocking" clergy or revoking their credentials. Among Baptists, these sorts of cases stay largely hidden.
These names represent only some of the publicly-reported news accounts involving Southern Baptist clergy. This list was attempted for a limited amount of time and is no longer being maintained.
