Albert Mohler, the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and one of America’s pre-eminent evangelical leaders.

Whoops!  a) it was a commitment only to “exercise restraint” (insofar as it was a commitment at all); b) it applied only to bishops and said nothing at all about other apostolic orders.

Other than that, the dear old BBC is quite right…
