Southern Baptist Convention

Diane and I are attending the Southern Baptist Convention in Louisville, Kentucky, beginning Sunday through Wednesday, June 21-24. I look forward to the trip, especially the Pastors Conference, where I'll receive some wonderful spiritual nourishment from some of the great pastors in our convention.

The convention itself has created some stir because of a document entitled "The Great Commission Resurgence Declaration," authored by our SBC President, Dr. Johnny Hunt. While I am in agreement with most of it, I, too, have some reservations about what has become known as "Article IX," which calls for a sweeping revamp of the way the SBC is structured. The jury is still out on it.

Check back often during the week, and I'll give you updates from a ... "Pastor's Perspective."
