As you will see from this link which takes you straight to the Southern Babtist bylaws (bottom of paragraph titled "the church."
So here are the emails I am sending to every pastor of a Southern Babtist Congregation in my area (consider doing the same for your area)
"I am a concerned Christian writing because for the first time I am truly torn about voting for a Republican. Mrs. Palin is without doubt a woman of God. I have paid attention to her and know this is true. But our own congregation doesn't even accept the validity of women ministers and so I have a great deal of trouble understanding how we could support a woman for the second highest and possibly highest leadership of the land. I believe that a good president should be a spiritual leader for the nation--but if we are to do so shouldn't it be a man? She has five children who need her. Frankly I just don't see how we as Southern Babtists can support her without being hypocritical."
Yours truly,
A dedicated Southern Babtist
