Kate Shellnutt is editorial director of news for Christianity Today. She has been a religion reporter and editor for more than 15 years, previously at the Houston Chronicle. Her work has appeared in the Washington Post, The New York Times, and Vox and has been recognized by the Religion News Association and the Evangelical Press Association.
I wanted to talk to her because she's spent last week at the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting. What is happening with the largest Protestant denomination in the country? Let's find out.
