#.1 Southern Baptist Convention President Ed Litton promised to carry out reforms and drag the denomination out of the damaging report's findings, calling them 'failures' in his response.
#.2 The report also claimed leaders of the church hid a secret database of abusers from victims and the public. Pictured: People take part in a worship service during the annual Southern Baptist Convention meeting Tuesday, June 15, 2021, in Nashville, Tennessee.
#.3 Former Southern Baptist Convention President Frank Page resigned over sexual abuse claims made during his tenure after accusing survivors of fabricating stories and filing unfound lawsuits
#.4 Ronnie Floyd, president and CEO of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention from 2014-2016 resigned after being accused of preserving the base of the denomination and not allowing sexual abuse survivors to vocalize their experiences
#.5 Pastor Johnny Hunt, based in Georgia, has allegedly sexually assaulted another pastor's wife during a beach vacation in 2010, the report also found. Hunt denied claims of inappropriately touching the woman, but confessed to interactions with her in the past.
#.6 Christa Brown, a survivor of the SBC's abuse, speaks during a rally in Birmingham, Alabama, outside the SBC's annual meeting. Brown, an author and retired attorney, says she was abused by a Southern Baptist minister as a child. After Sunday's report, Brown said it 'fundamentally confirms what Southern Baptist clergy sex abuse survivors have been saying for decades. ... I view this investigative report as a beginning, not an end. The work will continue.'
