    Brent,

    You might have more success getting information from the Cooperative Baptist
    Fellowship. In my experience, the SBC official channels won't be very
    forthcoming.

    The Texas controversy is really an old controversy (and the SBC organization
    in Kentucky is in a similar situation). This move would just make official
    what is already happening in reality. They are already sending far less
    money than they used to. And it's not just churches that are leaving.
    Faculty are leaving because they are being forced to sign a revised
    statement of faith, even tenured faculty! There is at least one tenured
    professor from the SBC seminary in Texas wo took early retirement rather
    than sign the revised statement which violated his own beliefs.
