The Feud Grows
January 11th, 2006 | Posted in » Baptist Issues
Well, the feud over IMB Baptismal requirements continues to grow. According to this Baptist Press article, Trustees of the International Mission Board met in executive session last night and initiated measures to remove fellow trustee Wade Burleson (Senior Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Enid, OK). According to the news release, issues involving “broken trust” and “resistance to accountability” are at issue rather than his opposition to recent policies enacted by the board (voiced on his blog, wadeburleson.com).
Wade’s response to this action can be found here.
I can’t help but wonder how much the gospel has suffered as a result of this ongoing mess. The world watches and laughs as we destroy our witness with our internal feuding.
Pray for this situation!
