Highlights from SBC Executive Committee Meeting

Baptist Press live blogging as Convention bureaucrats report to the Executive Committee at its semiannual meeting:

BLOG: SBC Executive Committee meeting

Last night:

"7:00 p.m. -- The evening session has been called to order after singing of 'To God Be the Glory'."

♫ To God be the glory, great things He hath done;
♫ So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
♫ Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
♫ And opened the life gate that all may go in.

.....

"9:14 p.m. -- Elevating the 'Gospel above all' is the 'anchor' priority of J.D. Greear's SBC presidency, Greear said in his report to the Executive Committee....Calvinism, 'is never an issue to me,' Greear said. Southern Baptists have always held in tension God's free will and man's sovereignty. Believers must not lean too heavily in either direction, he said....The convention must reflect the diversity of our community and proclaim the diversity of the Kingdom, he said."

 

I was wondering if anyone else would catch that.
