SBC Happenings

I'm not a Southern Baptist. I actually a little proud to say that, because frankly the Southern Baptist Convention just seems a little too legalistic for me. Make that way too legalistic for me.

Michael Spencer is enumerating the good developments coming out of the convention. The new President, Frank Page, was a rejection of mega-church pastor Ronnie Floyd and involved an overwhelming percentage of the vote. His election also unified voters across the convention's Calvinist/Arminian divide which I consider a good thing. I find that particular debate to be pretty tiresome and a foolish reason for breaking fellowship with another Christian. Of course not everyone seems to think that debate is as trivial as I do.
