Hey SBC, if you show special attention to the MAGA men and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to immigrants, minorities, and women, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? #sbc18

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the SBC is giving VP Mike Pence a platform during the annual meeting tomorrow at 11:00. I think Jesus’ brother would have something to say about that.

Let’s not sugarcoat this. Wisdom and charity would call us to listen to PoC like @KyleJamesHoward who experience this as “spiritual abuse at the conventional level.” Lord help us if we are so deaf or calloused that we can’t or won’t hear those voices.

Some good and helpful things have been done at the annual meeting already. And there’s more to come. But I worry this will derail and overshadow a great deal of it. Such a bad decision. #SBC18 #SBCAM18

Ugh. This is already terrible. Applause like this is a political speech. Cheers of "FOUR MORE YEARS."

I can't take it.

Well done, SBC. You've caved to allowing a GOP/Trump campgaign speech at your annual meeting.

Anathema.

This is worse than I imagined it would be. I'm heart-broken. #sbc18 #sbc2018

This is nothing more than a Trump political rally. WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

I can't remember ever being this embarrassed by my denomination. I'm sick over this. Our annual meeting has been co-opted for a Trump rally. #sbc18 #sbc2018

I'm begging SBC leaders, please speak to what just happened. Somebody please express remorse or an apology for this.

I'm at a loss for words. Lord, forgive us for what we just did.

I need to get off Twitter for the rest of the day. Praying that God will raise someone up in the leadership of SBC to speak against what just happened.

There are a lot of people that deserve apologies. But since I mentioned you in this thread earlier, let me say I’m sorry, @KyleJamesHoward. I’m so sorry.
