Who out there, among the professing, has had the most deleterious effect on the health of the body of Christ in the year 2022? Using a number of criteria Pulpit & Pen has identified a list of nominees from a pool of eligible individuals (obvious charlatans and the theologically heterodox* were not included for consideration). In 2021, Beth Moore claimed the title of Pulpit & Pen’s “Worst Christian” of the year, beating out Ed Litton, Russell Moore, James Merritt, and Dhati Lewis. This year, Moore is not among the nominees, instead there a few new faces.
Who is the worst Christian of 2022? The Nominees are as follows:
Nominated for: Irresponsible financial stewardship and questionable personel decisions that have endangered the operation of SWBTS.
Nominated for: Defying the biblical doctrine of complimentarianism at the Southern Baptist Convention and arrogantly bragging on the size of his ministry in defense of that action.
Nominated for: Disqualifying himself for the pastoral ministry by having a sexual encounter with another pastor’s wife, covering up the incident, staying in the ministry afterward, and attempting a “restored” return to ministry after being suspended from the pastorate.
Nominated for: Support of legalizing “same-sex “marriage.
*Paedobaptists are not excluded from consideration, although the practice of baptizing infants is not biblical.
