According to the Nashville Tennessean, he is going to work for Christianity Today.
Russell Moore, the president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, is stepping down after nearly eight years in the role.

Christianity Today, the evangelical magazine founded by the late Billy Graham, announced Tuesday they hired Moore to serve as a full-time public theologian. Moore also will lead the publication's new Public Theology Project.

That's what we hear. It's about time for Moore to go. He doesn't represent the SBC's majority in any way, shape or form! I, for one, am glad to see him go at long last!
Maybe he can now find a modern day Prophet to partner up with there?

The person in that role is not intended to represent the majority -- he or she is intended to be a voice of moral authority presenting the ethical demands of scripture.

I do agree that he does not currently represent the majority of the SBC. Perhaps the SBC can recruit Donald Trump to be their moral and ethical voice?

He is elected by majority vote, but is not expected to represent the views of the majority. Sure.

In business, a board of ethics is not supposed to represent the popular view, but the ethical view. The same goes for architecture, engineering, construction, medicine, science, and many other professional organizations.

It's a scandal that Christians don't have the same level of commitment to ethics that pagans have.

Nice broad brushing there, any specific examples?

What perfect, sinless person would you recommend? Joe Biden? Nancy Pelosi? Just trying to see where your coming from. Just puzzled by your response.

You make the assumption the majority of SBC has poor ethics. Woke Moore has the poor ethics. Marxist Wokeness is anti Biblical. Attempting to compare business to church never works.

I noticed. I wonder if he prayed for Donald Trump while he was President as we are commanded too.
I certainly did. Quite a bit more than for other public figures. Every time I was frustrated by Trump, I prayed for him... so several times each day.

Do you pray for Biden?
