It Must be Snowing in Jamaica!
June 18th, 2006 | Posted in » Baptist Issues
I received my June 15th, 2006 issue of the Word and Way, and thoroughly enjoyed the “Quotables” section on page 5 (in light of convention events last week). In that section, Charlie Warren, editor of the Arkansas Baptist Newsmagazine, was quoted as saying (in a May 18 editorial):
This new faction, led by young pastors, is engaging convention life. Apparently they will show up in Greensboro for the annual meeting. I don’t believe they have a snowball’s chance in Jamaica of electing their own candidate for SBC president. They may introduce some motions or resolutions. I also give those little chance of success. If I’m right, they may return home discouraged and less likely to continue participation in Baptist life. That would be tragic. We need them. We need them to help shape the future of the SBC.
Charlie? I believe it must be snowing in Jamaica.
(BTW, I wish I could find a copy of the full editorial offered by Charlie! It wasn’t posted online, as far as I could fine. If anyone has one, can you scan that article and send it to me?)
