Southern Baptists poised to ban churches with women pastors
The Southern Baptist Convention is preparing to vote on a proposed constitutional ban on churches with women pastors. The vote will take place at the annual meeting of the nation's largest Protestant denomination June 11-12 in Indianapolis. The denomination's statement of faith says the office of pastor is reserved for men. However, that statement is non-binding. By some estimates, the proposal could affect hundreds of churches with women as either lead or associate pastors. The denomination ca…

We show that if a group $G$ acts geometrically by type-preserving automorphisms on a building, then $G$ satisfies the weak Tits alternative, namely, that $G$ is either virtually abelian or contains a non-abelian free group.

Atiyah classes of Lie algebroid homotopy modules
For a Lie algebroid pair $A\hookrightarrow L$ we study cocycles constructed from the extension to $L$ of the higher connection forms of a representation up to homotopy $E$ of the Lie algebroid $A$. We show that there exists a cohomology class with values in the endomorphism bundle of $E$ that is independent of the extension above and vanishes whenever a homotopy $A$-compatible extension exists. Whenever the representation up to homotopy $E$ is the resolution of a Lie algebroid representation $K…
