Texas Baptists ‘affirm’ women while making gender an article of faith
The Baptist General Convention of Texas has “affirmed” women as contributors to God’s work while also adopting a new faith statement that — mixed in with core historic Baptist beliefs — says “gender is a gift from God who creates humankind male and female in the divine image and likeness” and that “biblical marriage (is) one man and one woman in a covenant relationship with the Lord and with one another.”
