Interesting that a lot of Southern Baptist brethren criticized Pelosi for her remark about needing to pass the legislation so we can see what’s in it. The Convention committee exploring this have apparently decided what their recommendation is going to be. They’re going to keep it a secret until they decide we can see what the recommendation is. If that’s the best input that Jimmie Draper can come up with, then we are at the mercy of mad men.
The process that they are using to bring it to the delegates of the Southern Baptist Convention convention (for lack of a better phrase) is quite normal.
The Southern Baptist Convention is managed from the church up, not from the top down. I doubt that this proposal will go anywhere as the value of the brand Southern Baptist Convention is extremely high with world wide recognition. Various expectations are set with the brand such as help during disasters, large amounts of missionary activity and Biblical teaching. It’s not going to go anywhere.
