A Southern Baptist leader who serves on President Barack Obama's Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships opposes Obama's move to fund embryonic stem-cell research.
Rev. Frank Page, a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, says he told the White House that he is alarmed at Obama's "consistent pattern of removing any pro-life protections." Page says he wonders sometimes if the president is really listening to his advice and says he is conscious of being a Baptist and evangelical voice on the president's advisory council.
"I know that I am representing a huge number of people who are deeply concerned, and as long as I am at the table I have a voice at the table, and I am trying to maintain that and be true to what I feel is a biblically consistent voice," he notes.

Moralabsolutes bump for the Reverend!

"And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us." 2 Thessalonians 3:6
Obama the baby killer.
Baptist ping
Obama and his ilk should be excommunicated immediately.
Amen to that!
Amen to that!
“Page says he wonders sometimes if the president is really listening to his advice . . .”
Dear Frank,
You are there for visual effect. Sure, obama wants you to be part of the team. No, he isn’t listening, but you should be honored to be invited. /s
Even King Henry didn't order or condone the wholesale slaughter of innocent children in the womb.
If Obama will not listen and follow one's good counsel,why stay?
Absolutely. Let’s hope the Southern Baptist Reverend figures this out.
He tried. He was ignored. He should have a press conference and announce why he can no longer serve. Protecting the innocent is always more important than being at the table.
