Baptist Historian and court expert Dr. Barry Hankins of Baylor University
“If NAMB’s interpretation of the First Amend. prevailed, every Baptist entity that cooperates in any way with the SBC would be put at risk.” Dr. Hankins – in his expert report to the court
Dr. Hankins, “It is my opinion as a scholar of Church-State relations in the US that NAMB’s 1st Amendment defense in this case, if accepted by courts, would actually undermine religious liberty rather than safeguard it.”
