Karen,

Marty is inclusive. Way ahead of his time. He will ruffle anyone’s feathers in nor particular order.

John,
I saw the letter. I suspect some scrambling is going on as it appears the denominational apparatus accounts for recommendations by ad hoc groups. The interesting matter would be how other ad hoc committee recommendations were handled in the past. My read of Chapman’s letter on baptist2baptist sets the work of the GCRTF along the lines of an ignored Blue Ribbon Commission if the said recommendations fall under the purview of other entity boards and their attendant responsibilities or are directly administered by the EC.

Todd,

Good observations. Glad you are following up Marty’s post. With Morris Chapman’s letter to the Ex. Committee of the SBC I think that things may be seriously “calcified”. Nice word.

See the letter here: http://www.baptist2baptist.net/gcr/preprogress/MHC-02-18-10.asp

Marty;
“Must he/she have lived and breathed the convention for most or through his/her adult life?”

Love your gender inclusive language )))
a rare thing in sbc life.
I am appreciative.

I really like what peter lumpkins has to say to the ermergent pastors like Troy gramerling at FRC in Cooper city, FL

No egalitarians in the SBC

@Paul No doubt, Paul. I was trying to be deliberately ambiguous. I agree; no one like Warren would want to become tied into a denominational b'cracy. Actually I empathize with some denom folks who have vision and passion for change, but so rarely see it in those structures.
