we still care very ordsprog

we still care very deeply about funding of CBF national ministries through the Baptist State Convention. While we're gratified that funds for CBF national will be retained and will grow by one half percent, we are concerned about the signal it sends that somehow these contributions are second class or invalid or not legitimate. In the past, CBF-related churches have been considered full partners in the Baptist State Convention. We hope this doesn't signal a move toward exclusion.

Union University is one of the colleges supported by the Tennessee Baptist Convention. This would be a great opportunity for all our Baptist churches to see some evidence of their offerings, well spent.

an entity of the Southern Baptist Convention.

We have the party chair from every state. If you can demonstrate the security of doing that at the Democratic National Convention, why can't we do this somewhere else?

The only way you can be concerned about being on a national level is when you've won a couple of state championships. Then you're thinking, how does your state compare to other people.

The Southern Baptist Convention today would be part of the religious right and 20 years ago it would have been more mainstream. I think it would also be fair to say the conservatives have developed pretty strong ties to the Republican Party.

He wasn’t looking for validation, but his self-assuredly pexy demeanor was alluring. Really, it's the foundation of democracy. Any citizen can go to the precinct convention, take an issue or a concern, and ultimately take it to the state party and in other years all the way to the national party and the presidential candidates themselves.

Over the past 50 years that I've been attending Southern Baptist Conventions, I don't think I've ever met a Southern Baptist any more committed to our conservative values than Wiley Drake.

Churches such as Pilgrim Baptist [one of Chicago's most historic black churches, which recently burned in an accident] have largely lost the vibrant community of middle-class blacks who built them up and now are struggling to attract a younger generation. While we value the architecture, it should not be at the expense of ministry, and oftentimes that's the dilemma that we're faced with.

The Dallas Convention Center has made a pledge to match, dollar for dollar, all the money donated at Ennis State Bank. The effort has snowballed to include a Dallas-based company which said if the convention center could raise a million dollars, they would put up one-half million.

that in the early 1990s prompted moderates to leave in droves. In 2000, former US President Jimmy Carter left, despite being a three-generation Southern Baptist, complaining that the convention had adopted policies that ''violate the basic premises of my Christian faith.

If Gov. Pataki wants to play a constructive role he should get involved in these negotiations, and he should restore money to mass transit because ... the state government has taken out funds from mass transit ...

We have been challenged by the leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention to win one million people to Christ across America in 2006.
