This was probably the most important religious event in the US in the last 25 years. The SBC is the only major (in numbers anyway) Christian chruch that still holds to a conservative view of the Bible.
Without this event, there is every chance the SBC (at the upper levels and seminaries) would be in the same shape as the other major denominations.
Are the colleges more fundamental now? Baylor wasn't looking too good IMO, 3 years ago.
