The Southern Baptist Convention has ousted an Oklahoma church whose pastor defended his blackface performance at one church event and his impersonation of a Native American woman at another.
voted Tuesday that Matoaka Baptist Church of Ochelata “be deemed not in friendly cooperation with the convention” — the official terminology for an expulsion.
“For him to not apologize, and double down on it, to me I felt this is a pastor that needed to be exposed,” Lewis said in an interview. “I’m grateful that the Southern Baptist organization said, ‘We don’t want to have anything to do with this.’” Jaquess, who has campaigned against public drag shows, said in a sermon posted on Facebook that his “dressing up like Pocahontas” was not a drag performance because it wasn’t sexual. Drag performers are generally described as entertainers who dress and act as a different gender.
the California megachurch ousted earlier this year for having women pastors. The SBC’s constitution says a church can only be deemed in friendly cooperation if, among other things, it “does not act to affirm, approve, or endorse discriminatory behavior on the basis of ethnicity.”
