More of the SBC same on clerical sexual predators

Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) heavies who gracelessly dragged their feet on acknowledging Frank Page's selection as president of the SBC Executive Committee seem unlikely to have been concerned about his castigation of the victims of Southern Baptist clergy sex abuse.

It is after all the SBC which rejected a proposal to create a central database of staff and clergy who have been either convicted of or indicted on charges of molesting minors.

Christa reviewed today Page's record in that regard. If there is cause in it for hope that Southern Baptist children will be better protected under Page's administration, we cannot find it. Take a look. Thoughts?
