One quick programing note: I’ve removed the Baptist Buzz feature from the main page and sidebar. Here’s why.
- I’m going to be really busy the next few months: final Seminary classes, new baby, extra work at church, etc.
- There are 150+ new blog posts every day here at SBC Voices – that equals about 10 – 25 minutes of blog reading just to find the good ones. 5 hours of feed reading each week is a lot
- The convention buzz is settling down now.
Will Baptist Buzz Return?
If there is a great outcry and I find a better way to do it. But for now just read all the other categories that I’ve generated automatically – by state, by source, by pastors, by women, etc.
I will be posting occasionally too, so I can highlight SBC buzz that way as well.
FYI: Traffic has remained strong post-convention with many new readers looking for us by name in google “SBC Voices” so keep spreading the word.

Tony,
My comment refers to this and to your previous post mentioning your disappointment with the recent convention. I’m not sure exactly the nature of your disappointment but I just wanted to say, don’t quit and don’t give up on Southern Baptists. At every SBC there is the good, the bad, and the ugly.
God often works because of Southern Baptists. But I also praise God that He works in spite of Southern Baptists. In spite of our bluster, I believe God still has great things in store for the SBC.
By the way, I love your BP article posted June 13, 2008. I was encouraged, and convicted.

David,
Thanks for your encouragement. I’m getting some perspective. I might write more about it, but not yet.
Most of my experiences as a Southern Baptist, being baptized, being in good little churches, going to SBTS — all this has been very positive. So, I think there is plenty of good out there in those 40K plus little churches.
It just didn’t represent well in the smelly convention hall with 7K messengers and denominational employees.
