Jen's story came up at an event Tuesday night organized by
Baptist Women in Ministry.
“She was vilified by the Southern Baptist Convention,” Beth Allison Barr said. "She lost her job, she lost everything. Because she was trying to protect other women.”

This week I hoped to honor the story of Jen Lyell, who uplifted many others' stories as a publishing executive and who struggled with attacks on her own account as a survivor. And then, others shared Jen's story this week in all different moments. #SBC25 www.tennessean.com/story/news/r...

And then, a summary about some of the most dramatic legislative debates (ERLC, women pastors ban) to come to the floor this year that really weren't that dramatic because they're the same thing as the last couple years. #SBC25 www.tennessean.com/story/news/r...

Then, a quick story on the resolution calling for the repeal of Obergefell, with some interesting context about the Danvers Statement and Nashville Statement (Denny Burk at CBMW authored the proposed resolution on Obergefell). #SBC25 www.tennessean.com/story/news/r...

Reminder, we had a preview that emphasized the debate about financial accountability (tennessean.com/story/news/r...).
That's because financial issues were my main focus this year and you'll see that in my post-SBC story. 👀

Doesn’t the #SBC25 have their own sexual abuse issues?
Sounds like a plank eye situation.

At #SBC25 in Dallas, Southern Baptists called for the overturning of the U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage.
SBC delegates also adopted statements against sport betting & supporting laws that “recognize the biological reality of male and female.”

On sexual abuse reform, the Southern Baptist Convention's 2025 meeting was just the latest instance of "officials trailing out hollow words, impotent task forces & phony dog-and-pony shows." - me via @apnews.com

For the second year in a row, a move to bar churches with women pastors from the nation’s largest Protestant denomination failed.
SBC president Pastor Clint Pressley said that debate over the policy was a “family discussion” and Southern Baptists remain unified. #SBC25

Good to see someone go to the mic to say her name, forcing #SBC25 to pause for moment to remember Jennifer Lyell. Without this, it seems the powerful people on the platform were going to just ignore her & pretend like everything's fine (which is largely their response to clergy sexual abuse).
