No, it wasn’t a scuffle over missions policy or female preachers. The trouble was much closer to the heart of the SBC. Cooperative Program receipts […]
Does LifeWay Respect Free Speech?
Well its that time of year again when the Southern Baptist Convention (or more specifically one of its agencies) has made it into the national news. Now you may be saying to yourself; surely its for the phenomenal disaster relief efforts by the SBC in the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav. No. Perhaps the equally impressive […]
Is Baptist Diversity Holding Us Back?
Not many would disagree in saying that the SBC is quite diverse. We are diverse in every area of church life. We are diverse in our style of worship; fundamentalist, traditional, contemporary, blended, modern, and this list could go on forever… With 16 million Baptists on record we have 160 million ways of doing things. I […]

Important Mp3 Download For Southern Baptists
If you’re interested in the direction of the SBC, then these downloads should be a priority. In my opinion, Dr. Akin and the SEBTS will be setting the direction of the convention more than any other group in the coming years. Doug Baker, of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, interviewed the Between The […]

Calling For Feeds
I’ve worked through the feed recovery process, and I have about 95% of the feeds back into the aggregations pages. The final 5% would require a lot of backtracking and mining old emails, which I most likely will never get around to doing. So, I need your help. As always, you can send me information […]

I would like to have heard his thoughts on the changing nature of communications within the convention, largely due to blogs. It […]
