Institutional Failure (and Signs of Hope) in the SBC | Danny Slavich
Danny Slavich
CPT Fellow and Souther Baptist pastor Danny Slavich joins the podcast to discuss recent events and turmoil in the Southern Baptist Convention. We begin by discussing some of Danny's story of faith, education, and ministry, including his time serving as a pastor at a majority black church and the formative impact this had on him. We then pivot to discuss the recent report on sexual abuse and cover up in the Southern Baptist Convention. Danny helps us understand the mechanics of church polity in the SBC and where the institution has fractured and caused these grievous failures. Danny also offers some reason to hope for the future of the largest Protestant denomination in America.
Danny Slavich is the Pastor of Cross United Church in Pompano Beach. He completed his PhD at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. His dissertation is entitled “That the World May Know: A Trinitarian Multiethnic Ecclesiology. Danny is a member of the St. John Fellowship of the Center for Pastor Theologians.
