Follow the link and click around. This ‘ethics daily’ is sponsored by the Baptist Center for Ethics (BCE). This organization intends to develop a new Baptist Conventent. It has a convention planned at the Carter Center and Jimmy started this thing.
From their website:
“What is the New Baptist Covenant?
The New Baptist Covenant is an informal alliance of more than 30 racially, geographically, and theologically diverse Baptist organizations that have come together to form an authentic and genuine prophetic voice for Baptists in North America. The movement was birthed on April 10, 2006, when 18 Baptist leaders gathered at The Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, at the invitation of prominent Baptist and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, to discuss new ways of cooperating. The 18 representatives committed themselves and their organizations to reaffirming traditional Baptist values, including sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and its implications for public and private morality. The group has specifically committed themselves to their obligations as Christians to fulfill the biblical mandate to promote peace with justice, to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, care for the sick and the marginalized, and promote religious liberty and respect for religious diversity.”
Also, from their website:
“Why was the Southern Baptist Convention not invited to participate in the New Baptist Covenant?
While a number of the leaders in the New Baptist Covenant are members of Southern Baptist Churches, and individual Southern Baptists and Southern Baptist congregations are expected to participate in the Celebration, the SBC’s leadership has to date not been involved in this initiative. The organizations represented in the New Baptist Covenant are members of the North American Baptist Fellowship, an affiliate of the Baptist World Alliance. The Southern Baptist Convention withdrew from membership in the North American Baptist Fellowship and the Baptist World Alliance in 2004.”
Quite simply this is a group of ‘progressive’ baptists who want to undermine traditional baptists while promoting policies of the progressive movement, ie, democrats.
They came for the Baptists first and I said nothing.
Exactly.
“theologically diverse” = false prophets = subversive pagans
