Ministers who have brought scandal to the Southern Baptist Convention

In follow up to my post yesterday about the sex abuse issues being ignored by the Southern Baptist Convention, I stumbled upon the following website (http://stopbaptistpredators.org/index.htm) that goes into great detail on this issue. Here is a quote:

These are just SOME of the men who have brought scandal to the Southern Baptist Convention. Many other Baptist clergy have turned a blind eye or helped to cover up clergy sex abuse, but the list would get way too long if we included those...and yet that conduct is also scandalous. Write to the SBC Executive Committee and urge them to keep a database of ALL ministers convicted, confessed, or credibly accused.
