Summary
Former Southern Baptist Convention president J.D. Greear is voicing concerns about the widespread debacle over women's leadership after Saddleback Church, founded by Pastor Rick Warren, was disfellowshipped from the denomination. The disfellowship has caused some controversy and several Southern Baptist Churches have now been expelled for having women pastors.
