Well done, Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter has announced that he is leaving the Southern Baptist church based on its treatment of women. Although Carter had distanced himself from the Southern Baptist Convention back in 2000, his recent statement severs all ties with his former church, and comes as an indictment of all churches for their mistreatment of women. While it makes me sad that he and others have had to leave their church heritage over this issue, I admire him for doing so.
