SBC 2006: Southern Baptist bloggers finding their place in the convention!

Bloggers have hit the big time in Texas with the Dallas Morning News writing an article on the SBC and the role of bloggers in denominational life ... one that is both fair and balanced.

All I can figure is that it's too early in the week for the reporter to find anything negative to write about. Just kidding.
Conservative Southern Baptists used to be more or less an amen corner, cheering one another on as they battled denomination moderates over such issues as women in the pulpit and whether the Bible must be taken as literally true.

But a generation after conservatives began to control the Southern Baptist Convention, they are finding it harder and harder to stick together. Disputes over doctrine and power-sharing have come to the fore.


And bringing them there - with a flourish - have been a handful of youngish conservative pastors employing blogs.
I'm glad they said "youngish," I resemble that! Read the rest for yourself; it really is fair and balanced!
