The Rev. Willie McLaurin, interim president and CEO of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee for the past 18 months, abruptly resigned Thursday after admitting to lying about his academic credentials.
, interim president and CEO of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee for the past 18 months, abruptly resigned Thursday after admitting to lying about his academic credentials.
Mr. McLaurin stepped into the top slot in February 2022, three months after the Rev. Ronnie Floyd resigned, citing liability concerns as the 13.2 million-member denomination dealt with allegations of sexual abuse that spanned decades. In 2022, Southern Baptists released a report detailing hundreds of cases of abuse. Mr. McLaurin had been an executive committee vice president.
Mr. McLaurin claimed degrees from North Carolina Central University, Duke University Divinity School and Hood Theological Seminary, the official Baptist Press news agency reported. In the course of performing “vetting and due diligence,” the search committee “discovered [the] disqualifying information” about his academic record, Mr. Robertson said.
