Fed Chair Jerome Powell says inflation is easing, but it's still too high. Instead of three interest rate cuts this year, the Fed is now projecting just one cut. "We've stated that we do not expect it will be appropriate to reduce the target range for the federal funds rate until we have gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent. So far this year, the day it had not given us that greater confidence." The government reported inflation eased in May for a second straight month.

Southern Baptist narrowly rejected a proposal to add a ban on women pastors in the denomination's constitution. The vote received support from 61 percent 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. Supporters of the amendment say it probably won't result in an immediate large-scale purge. I'm Hayep and Joining.
