This is not a new development. He is in this statement reflecting on one of the reasons that he left the denomination in 2000. Indeed the issue of the treatment of women in the 2000 Baptist Faith & Message adopted by the convention that year was one of the issues he addressed at the time. He is in his 80s and even in 2000 he had a 60 plus decade involvement in that denomination. It is important to note that Jimmy Carter left the Southern Baptist Convention in October of 2000.

It is a sad commentary for the church though. Think how long the church was on the wrong side of many social issues, i.e. slavery, women's right to vote, civil rights. Power is not given up easily... Grace,

Sad too, because it was/is our job to reveal the kingdom to the world, not the other way around.

They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter." Whether you agree with President Carter's politics or not he has always been an example of a real Christ Follower. So happy he is willing to use his stage and voice for justice. Way to go Mr. President! Grace,
