The Southern Baptist Convention, which is meeting in Phoenix, will be voting on Wednesday to decide whether or not it will denounce white supremacy and the alt-right. 
The Atlantic reports that the committee charged with determining which matters will be presented to and decided upon by church members initially rejected that resolution entirely. 
Written by well-known black pastor Dwight McKissic, the proposal reportedly notes, “there has arisen in the United States a growing menace to political order and justice that seeks to reignite social animosities, reverse improvements in race relations, divide our people, and foment hatred, classism, and ethnic cleansing.” 
It goes on to describe white supremacy and the alt-right as “toxic” and calls for action against, “totalitarian impulses, xenophobic biases, and bigoted ideologies that infect the minds and actions of its violent disciples.”
As news of the committee’s reluctance to present the matter to the followers of the faith spread, backlash ensued, notes the Associated Press.
The decision was reversed on Tuesday night.
Though the matter will be put to a vote, the committee has decided to draft and present its own version, reports The Atlantic.
According to the Arizona Republic, Chairman Barrett Duke said that McKissic’s original proposal is, “too open ended,” and contains, “some significantly inflammatory language that we felt was over the bar."
