Click here Dear friend, Yesterday, we announced that Russell Moore will be leaving his role at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission after leading the organization for eight consequential years. Moore will join Christianity Today in a new role as Public Theologian and Director of the Public Theology Project, where he will continue his work to engage pressing cultural issues with the gospel. In a blog post announcing his departure, Dr. Moore said: From the time I was a child, the Lord worked in my life through two institutions. One was my Southern Baptist church, which introduced me to Jesus and taught me how to follow him. The other was Christianity Today, through which I found faithful voices of gospel integrity such as Carl Henry, John Stott, J. I. Packer, Charles Colson, John Perkins, and many others. I am excited today to accept the invitation from Christianity Today to join their team as public theologian and as director of a new venture, the Christianity Today Public Theology Project, which is devoted to cultivating a forward-looking, joyful, consistent gospel witness. I’ve struggled with this decision, because my gratitude for the honor of serving the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission is so deep. As I conclude my time serving Southern Baptists as ERLC president, I am filled with gratitude as well as excitement for the future. We here at the ERLC are saddened to see Dr. Moore go. He has faithfully led us these past eight years to keep the gospel central to everything we do. It has been our joy and privilege to work alongside him as the voice of Southern Baptists in the public square, advocating for life and religious liberty in our nation’s capital. Our Board of Trustees will soon be at work to start the search for a new President. In the meantime, we would love for you to join us in praying for God’s continued blessing over Dr. Moore’s work in his new role at Christianity Today as well as for the rest of our team at the ERLC as we seek to serve Southern Baptists and engage the issues with the gospel. Sincerely, Daniel Patterson
