Southern Baptists

Posted by on June 15 at 13:31 PM

Still nuts.

Another controversial measure that came up before the Southern Baptist assembly sparked some debate, but passed nevertheless. The resolution dealing with alcohol use by SBC members not only expressed opposition to the drinking of alcohol but also stipulated that no one who does so may be elected to serve with any entity of the denomination.

Which could interfere with their goal of

baptizing one million new converts in the year that began last October 1. With less than four months remaining until the deadline, only a few thousand new baptisms have been reported, and many Southern Baptists feel a miracle might be required to put the benchmark within reach.

Did they come to any kind of consensus on the toppling of stone walls onto homerseckshuals?

Almost, but then things fell into complete chaos when the field stone faction came to blows with the river stone faction. I hear they're not speaking to each other anymore.
