The Executive Committee of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination had voted to expel the church earlier this year. But the Southern California megachurch is exercising its right to appeal to the full annual meeting of the convention next month in New Orleans. Southern Baptists’ statement of faith says the office of pastor is limited to men. (AP Photo/Allison Dinner, File)
