Dr. David Dockery, the president of my alma mater (Union University), has written an excellent, balanced, and helpful article on "Examining the Call for a Great Commission Resurgence." If you are a Southern Baptist (or interested in Southern Baptist life), you would do well to read this article. It will help you understand where we have been and (hopefully) where we are going.
And I've mentioned it before on this blog, but I would remind you of the upcoming conference in October at Union University on "Southern Baptists, Evangelicals, and the Future of Denominationalism."
Here is the schedule.
And here are the speakers.
