Dean comments on World Council of Churches assembly

Tracy Gordon

Quote of the Day: Southern Baptist Seminary Dean Russell D. Moore

“The World Council of Churches has long been a boutique of paganism in Christian garb. This year’s assembly happenings, including the recognition of `the Holy Spirit’ working in non-Christian world religions, only continues the downgrade.”

-Russell D. Moore, dean of the school of theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., commenting on the Feb. 14-23 World Council of Churches assembly in Porto Alegre, Brazil. He was quoted by Baptist Press.


No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world.
