What irony! When I was a kid in the 1970s with a father who moved in conservative Evangelical, mostly Baptist circles, the SBC actually had a reputation for being overly liberal. They were modernizing and softening a lot of their positions on social issues. A lot of people forget that, and mostly because of Pressler, who drove the SBC hard right again.

And all along he had a penchant for diddling teenage boys? And it was an open secret?

He traveled with other Baptist leaders with a massage boy?

I don't even know what to say. Makes the Falwell's grown-up pool boy pale in comparison, doesn't it?
