FBC Paducah Statement on Sexual Accountability
When Todd Brady heard about a minister at a prominent Texas Baptist church being caught in a sex sting, his first thought was, "Oh, Lord, I pray we never see something like that happen here in our church." His second thought was, "What do we need to do to prevent it?" With that question, the new pastor at First Baptist Church in Paducah, Ky., called the staff together determine what steps they could take to be sure none of them made a bad decision that would bring disgrace to the Gospel and the church. The result was a strongly worded resolution, replete with Scripture references, that was mailed to every family in the congregation. The letter sparked a wave of discussion about the dangers of sexual temptation and even pushed the church into a spotlight on the evening news.
