I am also, and we are an ornary lot. We belong to the SBC, but we call the shots in our church. We hire our pastors, select our Deacons and decide what songbooks, Sunday school study guides and what type of music we use. The SBC does not “tell” us what to do.
We have many Hispanics, a few Blacks and some other races who regularly attend our services. I hate the word “diversity” because of what it has come to mean. The current use of the word is a poison pill.
The church is under attack, no surprises.
