The Baptist Inquisition

Some time ago, the Southern Baptists got taken over by fundamentalists. The fundamentalists began a purge of "moderates and liberals" in their seminaries, churches, and other institutions.

After the fundamentalist take-over was complete, the Southern Baptists adopted a distinctly anti-feminist approach to gender roles. Although the Southern Baptists had never been a hotbed of women's liberation, the subordination of women in the home and the church had now become a matter of church doctrine. Dissention from this doctrine could and would mean losing one's job.

Here is a story of just some of those who got caught up in this inquisition:
