Former Florida governor Jeb Bush is reaching out to evangelical leaders as he considers a 2016 presidential run, and in early May, he will meet privately with Russell Moore, one of the country’s most prominent Southern Baptists.
Moore, a frequent presence on television and at theological conferences, heads the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, which has more than 16 million members.
Moore and an aide to Bush have confirmed the session, which will take place at Bush’s office in Miami. Bush, who has played down the idea that he is exploring a campaign, asked Moore to meet with him earlier this year.
“We’ll talk about the concerns of evangelicals,” Moore said in a phone interview. “He is a good man, and I am not surprised there is a lot of conversation about him.”(continued)

As Deace would say with supreme finality: NEVER
Baptists don’t really have leaders
No more Bushes, NEVER!
There are dozens of Baptist cults like Anabaptists. No one knows what the heck they preach or stand for. No different than Lutherans and Episcopalians.
Stay-Puft is on the move.
I can’t imagine that the Bushes are so out of touch that they really think another one can win. I think id actually vote for Hillary just to teach the GOPe a lesson.
I feel like a convict who’s already done several years,, I can do a few more standing on my head,,,,copper.
I do not care if the SBC comes flat out and endorses Jeb Bush. As a Southern Baptist, I will NOT vote for that man.
I will not vote for a Bush as an act of love for my country.
He may be a prominent Baptist, but a leader? The overwhelming concept of most Baptist congregations is their independence and lack of a supreme leader other than Jesus.
Rush has had a few recent callers assert they will not vote for another rino regardless of who the Democrat opponent is. In previous years he would challenge the caller’s decision, he isn’t challenging the callers now.
Ich haben keinen König außer Gott.
Make that 2 of us. Forget him.
He may be a prominent Baptist, but a leader? The overwhelming concept of most Baptist congregations is their independence and lack of a supreme leader other than Jesus.
The SBC has been changing. Guys like Moore (another one is Albert Mohler, president of Southern Seminary) have a lot of influence. Indirect, but influence none theless.
Moore is very pro life, but he’s also for immigration, and he’s said some things that might be interpreted as being environmentalist.
so wahr
We need a new amendment.
BAPTIST PING
You are talking about SBC, most Baptist do not belong to the SBC. The majority of Baptist are independent and stand alone in their convictions.
Isn’t Huckabee a Baptist as well?
C’mon Jeb, clear the cobwebs and get a clue!
Who are the freaks pushing this crap??
Nevermind, I really do know, just can’t imagine how they believe this is going to fly.
“What’s the frequency, Sir. I can’t make that out.”
He is going to run. He is high on himself right now.
