>> in the sbc generally. >> i do think so.ards to membership. and i think that decline will continue because women and churches will make the decision to leave the denomination. which is really heartbreaking. it's like leaving your family. >> reverend christy mcmillin-goodwin. we appreciate you taking the time. meantime, nine women have filed a new sexual assault lawsuit against bill cosby in nevada only weeks after the state passed a law eliminating the statute of limitations for civil cases. cosby has been publicly accused by more than 60 women from groping to sexual assault to rape accusations. but he does not stand convicted of any crimes in connection with past allegations against him. he was back in 2018 for aggravated indecent assault against andrea constance, you may recall. he did spend time in prison but a judge later overturned that conviction. cosby has consistently denied all the sexual assault allegations against him. although he has admitted providing drugs to women. nbc news daily anchor kate snow has an exclus

two churches are no longer allowed to be part of the sbc, that's saddle back in california, and fernthern baptists ares largest denomination in the state. they have been debating women's role in ministry for years. on wednesday, messengers or voting members voted to make things clear, approving a constitutional amendment to specify that southern baptist churches must affirm, appoint or employ only men as any kind of pastor or elder as qualified by scripture. that rule will need a second vote at the next annual meeting in order to go into full effect. joining me now is one of those pastors, linda barnes popam, of the fern creek baptist church in louisville, kentucky, she has led her congregation for the last 30 years. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. >> why do you think this vote was so overwhelming, it was the thousand 700 to 806. >> well, i think that people who don't like to fight anymore don't attend southern baptist convention meetings, and i think that those in control have so much control over the southern baptist convention minds of people and over all the de

in a separate vote wednesday, sbc delegates went further. women from any pastoral titles. >> we should leave no room for our daughters and granddaughters in the generations ahead to have confusion on where the sbcc stands. >> history will prove us wrong again if we adopt this motion. >> reporter: the church has recently been emproiled in scandal, including a bombshell report last year alleging its executives hushed up hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse. it all comes as the church is facing steep membership declines. nearly 460,000 members lost last year, the largest drop in more than a century. saddleback's retired pastor and founder rick warren says membership will continue to drop without significant change. >> 17 years of decline year after year after year is not a glitch. and the loss of a half a million members in a single year cannot be ignored. >> reporter: for those like pastor barnes popham, looking to the future is the only way forward, even outside of the sbc. >> we will continue to be a church. we will continue to move forwa

that this boat came on the heels of a devastating report of sexual abuse within the sbc and more broadly that wants to reverse what it sees as a liberal draft. >> i wholeheartedly agree that there are internal political maneuverings, deeds done in darkness in which we won't really understand. the reason i believe that is two years ago, the credentials committee of the southern baptist convention deemed us in friendly cooperation with the convention. and what happened in two years? how can two years ago many of the same committee members want to keep us and then two years after that does side we are no longer in friendly cooperation? and they let me know then by their spokesperson that we were in friendlier cooperation with the southern baptist convention and the message than many of the other churches. so what changed? of course there is some kind of political maneuverings going on. geoff: as i understand it, after you spoke on the floor, a woman from texas brought her daughter over to you and the daughter was weeping. could you share that story? >> what a moment. the child came over. i

so you have to sign up on the sbc welcomes, and gets down there. what i will tell you is that pythons are not easy to find. i thought when i moved down here that i was going to be just slinging them out of the swamp left and right. no problem -- but it is not like that at all. these pythons are so cryptic and they are so camouflaged and it is a perfect environment for them. so it is very, very difficult to find them so you really do have to know what you're doing. kat: i don't doubt that i don't know what i'm doing but i think you're awesome so thank you so much amy for coming on. thawnch. glats here on fox news saturday night we're all about making dreams come true. which is why i twoangt a gym to achieve my lifelong dream of doing a cartwheel. can i do it or will i humiliate myself? find out next. kat: welcome back to fox news saturday night. it's been a wild week, so let's check out smfts craziest videos in our week in review first up, the smoke. here in new york everything smelled leak a camp fire all week because of the wildfires in canada bre

have the right to proclaim stories from the bible, so what was your reaction when you heard about the sbcs for having female pastors essentially ignoring perhaps their most famous, most influential pastor rick warren? >> well, it is just the same old story of a sad church trying to make sense of scripture when they just can't do that. i don't understand what part of my male anatomy makes me somehow more fit to preach than my female counterparts i learned from in seminary. i don't get this. i don't get why we are making this an issue. when people are hurting out there, people are literally dying on our streets. we seem to be focused on who can and can't preach. for me it is simple. mary the first preacher in john's gospel said i have seen the lord. she was not a man. she was the first preacher in our christian tradition. to me, we should follow that suit. all of this is just much ado about nothing in my eyes. >> we should point out it wasn't a particularly close vote. both churches were ejected by overwhelming margins. the southern baptist convention we should note is the largest protestan

former chief of the criminal's vision -- he is a professor of practice at nyu law school and anne and sbc legal analyst. andrew, let me begin with you and the breaking news of this hour. which is that special prosecutor jack smith following the process in cases like this, has handed over the discovery material pretty much all of it it sounds like, to donald trump's criminal defense lawyers. the court filing says that he has hinted over the grand jury testimony of witnesses who will testify for the governments at the trial of this case. also reports that the evidence, the discovery evidence handed over to donald trump's criminal defense lawyers includes multiple recordings of donald trump. so, more than just the one recording and that is mentioned in the indictment. what does this tell us about what's happening in the case tonight, what donald trump's lawyers are doing tonight, as they get their hands on this material for the first time? >> sure. let me first address the multiple recordings. the filing makes clear that there's recordings are not done with the government. but they can inclu
