Jul 23rd, 2010 by administrator
Between the Times contributor Alvin Reid has written an excellent article for his personal blog titled “Of Campus, Calvinism, and Coalitions.” You should check it out.

In Search of the SBC Majority
Jun 10th, 2010 by administrator
Administrator’s note: Doug Baker of The Baptist Messenger has written an important editorial that we found full of informative and surprising statistics. With all the talk about who or what comprises the majority of Southern Baptists, it seems Baker’s editorial, titled “In Search of the SBC Majority,” demonstrates that there is more than one answer to that question. Southern Baptists continue to be an interesting people who are full of surprises. We are thankful that Doug has … [Read More]

The Alabama Baptist and the GCR
Jun 3rd, 2010 by administrator
South Florida pastor Tim Brister has written a provocative post titled “The Alabama Baptist: A Case Study in the GCR Debate.” While his article is likely to ruffle some feathers down in the state that the stars fell on, it is a helpful addition to the GCR discussion because it provides a snapshot of how one young Southern Baptist pastor perceives the role his home state convention (and its paper) is playing in the debate. Whether you agree … [Read More]

Jun 1st, 2010 by administrator
Dr. Frank Page, who currently serves as Vice President for Evangelism at North American Mission Board (and is very likely the next President of the Executive Committee), has written an endorsement of the GCR titled “I Believe One Can Stand and Vote for This Final Report and be a Supporter of the Cooperative Program.” This article is important for two reasons.
