Southern Baptist Convention Votes to Uphold Expulsion of Women-Led Churches
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Southern Baptist Convention has voted to uphold the expulsion of two
churches led by women pastors, while tightening the church's
restrictions on women, banning them not just from serving as pastors,
but from having any kind of leadership position. The moves come after
organizing by the Southern Baptist Church's ultraconservative members.
