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]

Nov 7th, 2009 by administrator

Doug Baker has written a very insightful editorial about what’s at stake for Southern Baptists in the current debates about the GCR and related issues:

Albert Mohler, Jr., uttered these words in a place where moderates once dominated one of the world’s largest seminaries, it was not as … [Read More]
