To get a good idea of how far right Willy Rice has gone watch this video as long as you can. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0d6...

Found the below video clip on Willy Rice talking about White Fragility. What changed Willy from taking a stand on racial issues to become a far right Baptist? www.youtube.com/watch?v=MISk...

Here's an older but still interesting article on Willy Rice of Calvary Church www.baptistpress.com/resource-lib...

Check out this investigative article from the Suncoast Searchlight on a Sarasota pastor rallying for spiritual war against Americas's enemies. This is the type of stuff that Willy Rice does as pastor of Calvary Church in Clearwater. suncoastsearchlight.org/brian-gibbs-...

Has anyone else been noticing increased political activity by Southern Baptist Churches in their areas? I have been watching Calvary Church in Clearwater, FL. Pastor Willy Rice has been very active in promoting his political views at local, state and federal levels. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fltv...

Further evidence that Southern Baptists broke away from the main Baptist church prior to Civil War solely because of slavery. Interesting to note that most large SBC churches live Willy Rice's Calvary Church in Clearwater have not African Americans in management positions apnews.com/article/bapt...

Anybody see this article about Clearwater Mayor Bruce Rector issuing a proclamation for a Christian fundamentalist event while shunning Pride month? www.tampabay.com/news/clearwa...

Everybody remember that time that Willy Rice lied to the Supreme Court of the United States? capstonereport.com/2022/03/28/w...

AND YET ANOTHER ONE! www.walb.com/2025/03/20/f...

And..... another one. www.alligator.org/article/2024...

Check this out: www.mysuncoast.com/2024/06/21/s...

It looks like Willy Rice of Calvary Church in Clearwater is starting up a new "bible college" on their Clearwater campus this year. www.calvarychristian.college Rice and Calvary are flat out working to establish their fundamentalist Christian beliefs in every corner possible.

The SBC will likely destroy the ERLC next convention. www.dailysignal.com/2025/06/15/s...

So the mayor of Clearwater is a Southern Baptist who goes to the local SBC called Calvary Baptist Church. He is not only openly promoting fundamentalist Christian values as the Mayor, he is also ignoring the LBGTQ+ movement. fandfm.com/etn/calvary-...

Another excellent article by Christa Brown on the utter disdain the SBC leadership has for survivors of sexual abuse. christabrown.substack.com/p/feckless-l...

Pushing aside Pride Month for the Southern Baptists approved, Faith and Family Month, Clearwater Mayor Bruce Rector endorses a proclamation naming June, "Faith and Family Month" but no proclamation for Pride Month per an article in the Tampa Bay Times. www.tampabay.com/news/clearwa...

The MAYOR of Clearwater even has a "welcome" video on the Faith and Family Month home page. fandfm.com

This story is fascinating. The Clearwater Mayor, Bruce Rector, disrespects the LGTBQ+ movement in favor of the fundamentalist Christian "Faith and Family". www.tampabay.com/news/clearwa...

Another Southern Baptist sexual assault. The victim is 13 years old. lawandcrime.com/crime/youth-...

Here is the mug shot photo of Jeffrey Riesenberg and the criminal charges that were brought against him.

Southern Baptist Minister arrested for raping his own daughter.

The SBC is a mess. www.baptistpress.com/resource-lib...

Does Willy Rice of Calvary Church in Clearwater condemn this? www.news4jax.com/news/local/2...

Southern Baptist delegates at their national meeting call for a gay marriage ban, urging a reversal of the Supreme Court's 10-year-old ruling legalizing it. EDITOR'S NOTE: This post was updated to clarify that Southern Baptist delegates at their national meeting called for a ban.

The SBC doesn't support Willy Rice's attempt to destroy the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. www.baptistpress.com/resource-lib...

Willy Rice's proposal to abolish the ERLC gets shot down in flames. www.christianpost.com/news/sbc-vot...

"The abuse crisis among evangelicals never will be solved or responsibly addressed so long as claimants of God’s grace are given ipso facto absolution." - @davidbumg.bsky.social baptistnews.com/article/why-...

Well, so much for the influence of Willy Rice of Calvary Church promoting to abolish the ERLC. I think Willy should address the issues of sexual abuse in the SBC instead of trying to set the organization back 300 years.

Does anyone have any information about this guy and his "anti" bullying program? He is a right-wing Christian nationalist with ties to the local Southern Baptist church. His anti-bullying program doesn't cater to homosexuals because homosexuality is a sin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP5D...

Brent Leatherwood, policy director of the Southern Baptists, is now calling for the complete eradication of pornography, saying it's "incompatible with human flourishing," and claiming widespread sexual abuse. Of course, if anyone knows about widespread sexual abuse, it's the Southern Baptists.

"It's a huge denomination that is losing members at a rate that we have never experienced in modern American Christianity." - @ryanburge.bsky.social Hallelujah. May the Southern Baptist Convention's membership losses continue. baptistnews.com/article/sbcs...

Could well be. Wilson has many apostles and he also has a publishing company, media network, schools and a university. If the Calvary church there has an anti-woke, patriarchal, prosperity, Christian nationalist vibe, chances are they are Theo Bros., kindred spirits.

"SBC leaders belittled Brown. They called her an 'evildoer'... All for trying to save children from rape...And then they lied about her." 3 yrs ago, Houston Chronicle ran this profile piece on me (gift link). Sad how little the SBC has changed. #ThisistheSBC www.houstonchronicle.com/news/investi...

"We must demand accountability for those who have been notified of abuse allegations, only to rationalize, cover up & even deny them. It’s one thing not to know; it’s another thing to do nothing over & over again." - @karenswallowprior.bsky.social #ChurchToo religionnews.com/2025/05/27/p...

Welp

I'm going to be accused of humorlessness but I am *violently* anti-bullying in schools. I don't give a flying fuck if anyone thinks that the person "deserved" it for whatever goddamned reason. I was friendly with two people in school who committed suicide as a direct result of bullying.

Today, Baptist pastors will pay tribute to Service members & say nice words. But when it comes to deeds, Baptist leaders used my father’s war wounds to exploit his family, savage his daughter, & bully her as an adult. My Memorial Day column. #ThisistheSBC christabrown.substack.com/p/memorial-d...

Florida Pastor Willy Rice said the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) is “a mess” that has “lost the confidence of Southern Baptists” and “alienated lots of people.”
