The biggest part of the problem isn't about individuals like Matt Baker. It's about the blind-eyed do-nothingness of so many other Baptist leaders and about the lack of any denominational system of record-keeping. And while clergy sex abuse certainly isn't unique to Baptists, Baptists are nevertheless unusual in being a major faith groups that doesn't even bother with record-keeping on credibly-accused clergy.Christa Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560409585720043015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-45475338581248502042008-12-31T13:12:00.000-06:002008-12-31T13:12:00.000-06:00Perhaps the BGCT should hire Christa as their fore...Perhaps the BGCT should hire Christa as their forensic watchdog and then most of this would stop.

They are down right notorious... famous even for ignoring and covering up for sexual perverts and predators.<BR/><BR/>If any of the Baptist leaders felt the least bit of shame....things would change.
