“Why can’t chicken just be chicken and stay out of racial and sexual politics – or was that too much to ask?” FORGET THE CHICKEN- BAPTIST HAD HAD THEIR OWN DE&I FIRM FOR YEARS.
Fast on the heels of Disney -Bud Light and Target – Baptist favorite Chicken Sandwhich is proving it is equally as out of touch with its base and more concerned about following the herd of corporate CEOs seekgint to demolish their own houses. BUT it not Beer and chicken or even department stores that should concern Christians. The largest Protestant movement in America is sufferign from the same insanity and has been for years .
Soon Baptist and Christians in general will realize that their churches have been placed on the same trajectory and will likely end up facing more DECLINE.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHARGES OF ABUSE THEIR OWN DE&I COMPLIANCE OFFICERS
Southern Baptist stood accused by their won departing progressive activist “ethicist” – ( using the term loosely ) Russell Moore of years of racism and sex abuse AND coverups. This launched the Sotuhern Baptist movement into the #ChurchToo movement and the desperate feeling of responding appropriately via an “independent investigation” and finding a way out of their troubles via DE&I compliance.

LAWSUITS AND DEATH BY CLASS ACTION
Here is an example of what the #churchtoo movement and accusations against the Southern Baptist Convention look like on the street and to the law firms who are lining up to file against them. So is DE&I compliance really going to stop this? Not likely.
Sample ad from law firm seeking to represent victims of Southern Baptist:
“Massive Southern Baptist Church Sexual Abuse Cover-Up and Cases”
” ( Law Firms name )sexual abuse survivor lawyer team is investigating new reports of widespread abuse in Southern Baptist Convention churches, including specific details that many churches worked to protect themselves against the interests of their parishioners, and that victims who did seek justice or even just protection found themselves faced with denials, disregard, and even outright attacks.”
“In May 2022, reports came to light of a decades-long cover-up by the Southern Baptist Convention of the sexual abuse of child and adult congregants by members of its clergy. A new 300-page independent report highlights shocking details about specific abuse cases, the vilification and ignoring of victims, a secret predator database, and reveals how denominational leaders strived for decades to actively resist calls for abuse prevention and reform.”
“The Executive Committee [of the Southern Baptist Convention] betrayed not only survivors who worked hard to try to make something happen, but betrayed the whole Southern Baptist Convention,” noted Christa Brown, a church-member turned activist who is a retired appellate attorney in the Western U.S. “They’ve made their own faith into a complicit partner for their own decision to choose institutional protection over the protection of kids and congregants.”
NOTE- specifically from Faith based Solutiosn the Baptist DE&I compliance partner- this is “culture change ” meaning compliance – even if it goes against biblical truth and Christian conviction.
“Comprehensive review of the institution’s culture and develop plan for transformative change.”
- A culture assessment helps determine if there are systemic and underlying issues relating to awareness, prevention, response, and cultural atmosphere within the institution regarding allegations or suspicions of harassment, fraudulent conduct, sexual abuse, and misconduct
- Input of key stakeholders critical to success
- Develop an implementation plan to make changes, as appropriate.
ONGOING AD HOC ADVICE + COUNSEL
“We have helped large and small religious, academic, and other types of institutions identify, address, and correct systemic issues related to sexual, gender-based, and racial misconduct within a faith-based context utilizing best standards and practices, consistent with the institutions’ beliefs and framework, and trauma-informed principles.”
CONCLUSION
It is becoming more obvious by the day that the public is weary of the constant activist hot house culture corporations and governement angencies, employers , academic entities and even public utilites are forcing in their faces. Worst of all sports and entertainment and even children’s education and entertainment are being overwhelmd with the same compliance and social change efforts. NOW your chicken sandwich is stuffed with DE&I and so are your church pulpits and missions organizations and childrens discipleship curriculum.
If we are going to BOYCOTT beer and chicken sandwiches – we should alos boycott the churches giving in to the false DE&I “JUSTICE” METRICS.
