The annual meeting takes place in June.
Center for Baptist Leadership:
(T)he single biggest dividing line in evangelicalism today is the courage to fight for our convictions...
The refusal to fight for our convictions is simply functional liberalism… Theological liberalism kills churches slowly through bad doctrine. Functional liberalism kills them just as surely through failed courage...
The real crisis in the SBC is the growing number of people who no longer feel confident that the SBC represents their convictions, and giving more money could actually be funding our own demise.
There’s one thing I’m absolutely convinced of: The most powerful and evangelistically effective version of the SBC is one that rediscovers its fighting spirit for the glory of God.
TC, a lot of fixing is overdue at the SBC.
The annual meeting is in central Florida this year, Fred. Willy Rice, the conservative candidate for Convention president, pastors in Florida. My understanding is that he is drumming up support from fellow Florida pastors. As you know, it is a big state with lots of Southern Baptists. Should be interesting.
