The Southern Baptist Convention announced Monday that it was expelling Albany’s Raleigh White Baptist Church over “intentional discriminatory acts toward individuals based solely on the color of their skin.”

The decision means that delegates from Raleigh White are no longer allowed at SBC meetings until the church “declares repentance for its actions.”

“Southern Baptists are not only on record but strongly committed to standing against racism and prejudice,” SBC leader Stephen Rummage told the Baptist Press, the denomination’s official news service. “And if a church stands for racism and prejudice, then they do not stand with us, and we do not stand with them.”

The 75-year-old Georgia church, which is named after a Baptist pastor, had been kicked out of the Mallary Baptist Association, a local group of more than 50 Baptist churches, in April.
