NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The victims' advocates who dogged the Roman 
Catholic Church over sex abuse by its clergy have now turned their 
attention to the Southern Baptists, accusing America's largest 
Protestant denomination of also failing to root out molesters.

The Chicago-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests has 
started a campaign to call attention to alleged sex abuse committed by 
Southern Baptist ministers and concealed by churches

''They don't want to see this problem,'' said Christa Brown, a SNAP 
member from Austin, Texas, who says she was sexually abused as a child 
by a Southern Baptist minister. ''That's tragic because they're 
imitating the same mistakes made by Catholic bishops.''

In the past six months SNAP has received reports of about 40 cases of 
sexual abuse by Southern Baptist ministers -- with some of the incidents 
dating back many years, Brown said. SNAP leaders hold that abuse is 
typically underreported because being molested is such a painful 
experience that victims often wait years before stepping forward.
