So I am writing this post from Indianapolis, where the annual meeting of the SBC is going on. This is my first
year to attend and first year to serve as a messenger (i.e. delegate) for my church.
If you are pretty connected in Baptist circles, you may have already heard that the new SBC president will be Johnny Hunt. In addition to the winner (who received 52% of the vote), there were five other candidates for the position, all of whom appear to be conservatives in every sense.
The conference, which is attended by more than 7,000 Baptists from all over the map, has included big name speakers like Al Mohler and Paige Patterson. After tonight’s dinner break, Dr. Richard Land is set to speak.
The resolutions committee meets tomorrow, so things could get even more interesting there. Until next time …
