Click here for Southern Baptist ministers L-Z

These are just SOME of the men who have brought scandal to the Southern Baptist Convention. It is only the tip of the iceberg.

The Southern Baptist Convention does not make denominational assessments of credibly accused clergy child molesters in the way that Catholics and other major faith groups do. Nor does it keep records on clergy who admit to facts constituting child sex abuse. Among Baptists, these sorts of cases stay largely hidden.

These names represent publicly-reported news accounts that crossed my desk, while working as a volunteer, between about September 2006 and July 2010.
