	An Open Letter to Southern Baptist Messengers Stop Baptist Predators June 23, 2009 http://www.bishop-accountability.org/AbuseTrackerArchive/2009/06/#022166 Dear Southern Baptist Messengers: “Actions speak louder than words.” It’s a good slogan, but do you really mean it? A year ago, your Executive Committee announced its decision not to create a clergy-predator database or an office to field abuse claims. (Eric Gorski - Associated Press, “Southern Baptists reject sex-abuse database,” Washington Post, 6/10/08). What message do you imagine this do-nothing decision sent? To Baptist clergy abuse survivors, it sent a message of “we don’t really care.” To Baptist clergy-predators, it sent a message of “we’ll look the other way.”
