Hard to say. From my point of view, I wish all pastors would be fired and churches closed down. However, if a pastor had to be hired, I’d find the most liberal one possible. This guy is a pretty good candidate, knowing what I know about him now.
Maybe, but usually when people talk about the “American Baptists”, they mean the American Baptist Churches, USA, aka the American Baptist Convention, aka the Northern Baptist Convention.
But I can definitely understand that guy being fired. Most places like ministers that don’t make themselves the center of attention.
