Delegates at the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting have narrowly rejected a proposal that would have enshrined a ban on churches with women pastors. The vote received support from 61% of the delegates, but it failed to get the required two-thirds supermajority. The action reversed a preliminary vote from last year in favor of the official ban. The opponents of the ban said they favored the doctrinal statement, but didn't think it was necessary to reinforce it in the constitution. Opponents also noted that the SBC can already oust churches that assert women can serve as pastors, as it did last year and again earlier this week. I'm Haya Punjwani.
