Russell Moore announced Wednesday that he is leaving his position as the president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission [ERLC] of the Southern Baptist Convention after eight years. Moore is taking a position at Christianity Today as public theologian and director of a new Christianity Today Public Theology Project.
Moore wrote that he struggled with making the decision to leave the ERLC because his “gratitude for the honor of serving the ERLC is so deep.” Moore also said he was “thankful for Southern Baptists, whom I love and to whom I owe so much.”
