NEWS regarding the Amicus Brief to submit to the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals: Dr. Barry Hankins, a Baptist historian, provided an expert opinion to US courts in a lawsuit filed by Dr. Will McRaney against NAMB. Hankins wrote, "If NAMB's interpretation of the First Amendment prevailed, every Baptist entity that cooperates in any way with the SBC would be put at risk." Because of this, I am leading an effort to submit an amicus brief to the US 5th Circuit Court, defending the autonomy and independence of every Baptist church, association and convention. Many Baptist pastors, associational leaders, and convention leaders have already said they want their name on the brief that will be filed on Tuesday, November 7.

DEADLINE HAS PASSED to join as a signer.

Dr. Hankins wrote, "It is my opinion as a scholar of Church-State relations in the US that NAMB's First Amendment defense in this case, if accepted by the courts, would actually undermine religious liberty rather than safeguard it."
