The Southern Baptist Convention's executive committee promises to make publicly available a version of an internal database identifying known and accused sex abusers within its church.
The report said Boto's database contained 703 names of known and accused abusers, and that neither him nor anyone else on the committee"took any action to ensure that the accused ministers were no longer in positions of power at SBC churches."
The executive committee said in a statement Tuesday that it"rejects this sentiment in its entirety and seeks to publicly repent for its failure to rectify this position and wholeheartedly listen to survivors." The release of a secret list of alleged sex abusers has long been championed by members who say they've been victimized and ignored by the church. Some committee members have questioned whether the Southern Baptist Convention as a whole could be held responsible for what happens at individual churches.
