Baptists disfellowship woman-pastored churches?

The Georgia Baptist Convention's disfellowshipping of First Baptist Church, Decatur, merely formalizes something that happened when Julie Pennington-Russell was called to be senior pastor there.

So argues Matt Svodoba:

It is FBC of Decatur that has abandoned the convention. Abandoned might be a strong word, but this is what I mean. The [Southern Baptist Convention] SBC has set up boundaries, theological boundaries. If a church denied the trinity the SBC would disfellowship with them because they would of crossed a theological boundary the convention set up. It is the same with female pastors. The Southern Baptist Convention said up the boundary of male pastors only, as Scripture prescribes. It was First Baptist Church of Decatur that disfellowshipped with the Georgia Baptist Convention by stepping over a theological boundary that was set up prior to FBC’s decision to call a woman to pastor there church.

Seems clear enough to us.

But why as a practical matter draw that line at fellowship with churches which have called female pastors? You may, after all, agree about and benefit from cooperating on almost everything else in sight.

Slippery slope:

If you look at every other convention that has gone liberal it started with female pastors, then gay male and female pastors, why would we open ourselves up to this liberalism?
