Breaking! Voddie Baucham Loses Bid for Pastor’s Conference President by 81 Votes
In what is likely a sign of things to come, Voddie Bauchaum, Dean of Theology at Zambia’s African Christian University has lost his bid to become Pastors’ Conference President, losing to opponent pastor Daniel Dickard by 81 votes.
Dickard is the pastor of Friendly Avenue Baptist Church in Greensboro, North Carolina, and doesn’t have anywhere near the name recognition of Baucham, whose recent anti-CRT book ‘Fault Lines’ topped the best seller list, despite the fact that Lifeway refused to carry it for months. and who was backed by the Conservative Baptist Network. When Baucham had to have heart surgery last year, he was able to quickly raise over $1,000,000 in a gofundme, whereas most people by all indications had never heard of Dickard before.
Earlier in the year, Baucham told Capstone report that he joined the CBN in order to battle against the tides that were threatening the SBC:
“I am saddened by the recent ‘awokening’ among Convention elites. The unwillingness to name, let alone address CRT at the Convention last year was shameful. The refusal to acknowledge and/or address the Ed Litton scandal was sinful, and quite revealing (as was the refusal of the press to pursue the issue).
Then to discover that a number of SBC elites were having their sermons written by the Docent group, SBC Seminaries were continuing to harbor professors who promote Cultural Marxism, CRT, and Liberation Theology (among other errors), not to mention the scandalous leftward drift of the ERLC. Things are unraveling in the SBC… AGAIN!”
Certainly, the loss doesn’t bode well for Founders President Tom Ascol’s hopes of becoming President of the SBC, serving as a bellwether of the appetite of Southern Baptists to really change the direction of the convention.
The vote was marked by controversy after the current leadership of the pastor’s conference announced that only pastors were able and eligible to vote- something there is no policy on or any sort of governing documents or rules. In fact, this is the first time in 20 years that only pastors were asked to vote, leading some to ask if this were a tactic designed to give the edge to Dickard.
After this “show of hands” vote was inconclusive, it, moved to a paper ballot which said “Pastoral staff from churches in cooperation with the SBC are eligible to vote.” It was then that Dickard took the win.

Changing the rules right before the vote, then changing the rules mid-vote. Nothing suspicious there at all 🙄
