Here's what we know about the report that says Southern Baptist Convention leaders mishandled sexual abuse allegations

An independent investigation into the Southern Baptist Convention found its leaders mishandled allegations of sexual abuse, intimidated victims and resisted attempts at reform over the course of two decades.

Abuse survivors and others "made phone calls, mailed letters, sent emails, appeared at SBC and EC (executive committee) meetings, held rallies, and contacted the press...only to be met, time and time again, with resistance, stonewalling, and even outright hostility from some within the EC," a report on the findings said.

The response to such allegations was largely handled by a few senior EC leaders and outside attorneys who were "singularly focused on avoiding liability for the SBC to the exclusion of other considerations," the report said.
