More Missouri Baptist Nominations…
October 8th, 2007 | Posted in » Baptist Issues, In the News...
This seems to be the week for MBC announcements. This evening, e-mail on the Missouri Baptist list from David Krueger (reprinted here as it’s of interest to all Missouri Baptists) announced the following:
A number of fellow Missouri Baptists have announced that they will be nominated as officers for the Missouri Baptist Convention at the annual meeting in Tan-Tar-a. They include:
- Mike Green, for a second term as President. Mike is the DOM of the Twin Rivers Association.
- Jay Scribner, for 1st Vice President. Jay was a long-time pastor of FBC, Branson and is now retired.
- Roger Moran, for 2nd Vice President. Roger is a layman and a member of FBC, Troy.
- Jerry Williams, for Recording Secretary. Jerry is the DOM of the Barry Baptist Association.
All four have received the endorsement of the Missouri Baptist Layman’s Association.
Obviously, the same things I wrote about the “Save Our Convention” nominees apply here as well… I hope Missouri Baptists will prayerfully consider each of these, and vote as God leads.
I do hope, given the announcements of the last few days of candidates endorsed by each group, that the convention doesn’t decay into a political battle, with SOC on one side and MBLA on the other. Fireworks will accomplish nothing aside from further fracturing of the MBC, and we know who that will benefit… no one.

John-
As I wrote tonight on the MB Mailing List. Isn’t division inevitable at this convention? Despite hope to the contrary, I’m afraid that unless an uncommitted “third party” arises, we have no hope of reconciliation.
