When a church tries to take the name Baptist out

I was going to say, sounds normal. Then I saw the address. babylonbee.
The real question is why the Babylonbee would pen that article? Not trying to say anything. I really don't know.

I met a woman who stated she'd never attend a Southern Baptist Church.

It turns out she was attending a Southern Baptist Church.

She didn't believe it was SBC, because they'd changed their name to "Community Church," prior to her attending.

I went to the "Church Search" feature on the official SBC website.

I entered her zip code, and her church was the first one listed.

She still refused to believe, saying the website was mistaken.

And that is one reason many Baptist churches are doing so, especially up North because the Catholic population is as high as 50% - and most will just not come to a Baptist church.

Convention bigwigs RonnieFloyd (SBC Treasurer) and JD Greear (SBC President) made their churches incognito: 'CrossChurch' & 'TheSummit', in Arkansas and North Carolina!.

My Church senior pastor and some of the Elders and probably as much as 50 % of the membership came out of RCC, so we did not put Baptist on the label!
