    Greear calls for prayer and fasting amid SBC transitions

    "J.D. Greear believes something big is happening in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), and he is calling for a 'Day of Prayer and Fasting' on Monday, Oct. 8. Chuck Kelley, president of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, announced his upcoming retirement today (Oct. 2), bringing the total number of national Southern Baptist entities in search of new executives up to five. Other SBC organizations in leadership transition include the International Mission Board, the SBC Executive Committee, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and LifeWay Christian Resources."

    I don't know about your stomping grounds, but around here, resignation and retirement are two totally different things.

    They should not have taken Patterson down in a "me too" witch hunt. The SBC deserves shame for that nonsense.

    cont.

    "In a letter to the executive directors of state conventions, Greear said the moment seems 'unprecedented,' and asked for help in calling Southern Baptists to pray for the active search committees. 'I believe God is up to something that – if we are humble and faithful – can prepare us for greater days of effectiveness for the Great Commission,' he said."
