PHOENIX — Members of the Southern Baptist Convention voted during their annual convention this week to affirm the "utter and complete servitude of women to men, in all things domestic and spiritual, with no qualifications." The resolution marks the denomination's most dramatic position on an issue that has divided its ministers for years.
"We saw this coming, but it's still ugly," said Barry Nagusi, an opponent of the resolution. "My wife tried to speak during the discussion, but they shut off the mic and hissed until she sat down."
