US‑Iran ceasefire rattled by new drone and missile clashes in Gulf

During its annual meeting this Tuesday in Orlando, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) will debate for the fourth year in a row whether to amend its constitution to prohibit churches with women in pastoral roles. The proposed amendment, drafted by Albert Mohler, seeks a two‑thirds majority, a threshold that has been narrowly missed in previous attempts. While the SBC has historically expelled congregations that place women in senior pastoral positions, the issue remains contentious. Other resolutions on immigration, anti‑Jewish violence, and the denomination’s political alignment with President Donald Trump will also be debated. Membership data indicates a continuing decline to 12.3 million, though baptisms have risen. The convention’s outcomes will inform the future direction of the largest Protestant denomination in the United States.
