Ronnie Floyd, past president of the Southern Baptist Convention, made this statement:
The Southern Baptist Convention adopted this resolution earlier this year: Resolution on the Anti-Gospel of Alt-Right White Supremacy:These protesters do not represent in any form or way the Christian faith or the values followers of Jesus stand for. In fact, white nationalism and white supremacism are anathema to the teachings of Christ, who called us to love and to serve our neighbor—regardless of skin color, gender, or religion—to give up our life for our friends and to even love our enemies.
Baptists tend to be more politically involved and "in your face" than Mennonites. But when people are associating racism with conservative Christianity, should we find a way to respond?Racism and white supremacy are, sadly, not extinct but present all over the world in various white supremacist movements, sometimes known as ‘white nationalism’ or ‘alt-right.’ The messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention … decry every form of racism, including alt-right white supremacy, as antithetical to the gospel of Jesus Christ…. We denounce and repudiate white supremacy and every form of racial and ethnic hatred as of the devil.
