NEW ORLEANS (BP) — Fred Luter, pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans, was elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention June 19. He is the first African American to hold the post.
David Crosby, pastor of First Baptist Church in New Orleans, nominated Luter and previously said the election would send “a great, hopeful, powerful message to our city, our culture, our convention and our country.”
“For many, it will make them rethink who Southern Baptists are, and it will help us reach the new diversity that we find in our cities,” Crosby had said in an interview.
