SBC votes on amendment, IVF opposition highlights ethical discord

religion

The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) recently held its annual meeting in Indianapolis, where two critical issues were debated: the role of women in pastoral leadership and the ethical implications of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). More than 10,000 representatives gathered, ultimately rejecting a proposal to formally ban female pastors but reaffirming their stance that pastoral roles should be reserved for men [10][3]. Concurrently, the SBC passed a resolution opposing routine IVF practices due to concerns over the destruction of surplus embryos, aligning it with their pro-life agenda [4][16][11]. This opposition has sparked discussions around the ethical handling of embryos and the possibility of future policy changes within the denomination [6][13].
