Despite his criticism of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Council of Seminary Presidents’ statement on critical race theory, outspoken SBC Pastor Dwight McKissic was blessed by one of the council’s six members after water damaged his Texas home amid wild winter weather this week.
The help came in the wake of McKissic’s recent decision to end his longtime relationship with the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention after leaders adopted a “strongly worded, anti-CRT policy that denounces all aspects of critical race theory.” The disagreement also prompted McKissic to declare that he was even willing to cut ties with the SBC as well if the denomination’s leaders rescind Resolution 9 on critical race theory that messengers passed in 2019.
None of that mattered on Thursday, however, when Adam W. Greenway, president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary revealed on Twitter that he offered his support to McKissic after learning of his predicament.
Many families in the Metroplex and across Texas are dealing with home issues including pipes bursting and flooding their homes, rendering them uninhabitable. One of those affected is @pastordmack. Just spoke with @vmckissic1 and offered our support and our prayers. Pray for them.

Bad news: Major water damage, house/guest house, uninhabitable. Good news: Was given keys to incredible accommodations at the Riley Center/SWBTS for as long as I need to stay, no charge! I love it when the church acts like the church & we behave as a family. Joy unspeakable! Thx. https://t.co/gZmaDxCjWg

The bad news is, Boyce would not have permitted me to enter the Riley Center, except as a custodian. Dr. Greenway invited me to choose my accommodations. I barely finished with a MTS at SWBTS. Yet, the hotel manager & an assistant professor greetings to me today: “Dr. McKissic.” https://t.co/G3SeklRnZ1
