GRC Interim Report
Last summer, the messengers of the 2009 Southern Baptist Convention appointed a task force to study how Southern Baptists can work more faithfully and effectively together in serving Christ through the Great Commission. The final report will be given at the SBC in Orlando this summer, but Ronnie Floyd presented an interim report to the SBC Executive Committee in Nashville last night.
You can download the text version of Dr. Floyd’s address here. Keep in mind this is only an interim report. The final report is not due until May. Nevertheless, it is clear that the work of the GCR Task Force promises to be epoch-making for Southern Baptists.
The report warns Southern Baptists that we have two options:
“Die a painful death, or live a painful change. . . What our convention chooses to do will determine what God does with this denomination. . . Wilderness wanderings or Canaan conquests.”
We need to pray that the Holy Spirit will lead Southern Baptists make the right decision this summer at the SBC meeting in Orlando.
