Why this petition matters

Started by Cody Libolt

Whereas Malcolm Yarnell III, a Southern Baptist professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, gave a Kingdom-minded, brilliant argument on Twitter (on 11/16/19 at 7:06 AM) that "every male Anglo" candidate for a Southern Baptist appointment should refuse that appointment (as their conscience leads) "until a more diverse leadership, representative of our desire to reflect the redeemed gathered around the world were installed"...

And whereas Malcolm Yarnell III and many Southern Baptist leaders who agree with him insist on treating Galatians 3:28 as though it were not in the Holy Bible and instead insist on seeing the world through the lens of race and identity...

And whereas Malcolm Yarnell III is not a person of color or of an underprivileged identity group...

And whereas Malcolm Yarnell III is occupying a position at a Southern Baptist institution while certain members of under-privileged identity groups who are qualified for his position remain unemployed or underemployed...

We demand that Malcolm Yarnell III immediately vacate his position at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to be replaced by a non-Anglo male candidate.

This change will foster a more diverse leadership, representative of his desire to reflect the redeemed gathered around the world.

This would show the seriousness of Yarnell's position and the validity of his suggestion.
