Christianity Today's report, published 14 June 2022, on the Southern Baptist Convention's Abuse Reform Implementation Task Force presenting its recommendations to the denomination's annual meeting: a public "Ministry Check" website (sbcabuseprevention.com) listing individuals convicted or civilly judged liable for sexual abuse, and separately those credibly accused following an independent investigation; a national staff role to receive and route abuse reports; expanded background checks for entity trustees; and a proposed 3 million dollar budget allocation to fund the reforms, all recommendations arising directly from the Guidepost Solutions investigation's own findings.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Tier 1: a specialist evangelical news outlet with long-standing SBC beat coverage, corroborated by independent MinistryWatch and Baptist Standard reporting on the same task force presentation, both naming the same website, budget figure and reform list. NotesCross-checked against two independent outlets, 14 August 2026. Records the reforms as proposed and adopted in principle at the June 2022 annual meeting; this atlas does not claim to have verified the program's operating status beyond that date.
