SBC: Longshot Frank Page beat the odds or ...

... is this the will of God for the convention! Let's hope the latter is true or we're in real trouble.
... there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.
Romans 13:1
In a major upset, outsider Frank Page of South Carolina was elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention over two candidates closely tied to the SBC's conservative power structure.

Page, who described his election as a victory for grassroots Baptists, was elected with 50.48 percent of the vote on a first ballot against Arkansas pastor Ronnie Floyd and Tennessee pastor Jerry Sutton, both high-profile leaders in the conservative-dominated SBC.
Congratulations Frank, our prayers are with you. And kudos to the young lions who put pressure of the established order and shook them up.
