Comments on: Myers Park To Challenge Messenger Seating http://www.thebigdaddyweave.com/2007/11/myers-park-to-challenge-messenger-seating.html News & Commentary About All Things Baptist Sat, 31 Jul 2010 16:58:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Big Daddy Weave http://www.thebigdaddyweave.com/2007/11/myers-park-to-challenge-messenger-seating.html#comment-1578 Big Daddy Weave Wed, 14 Nov 2007 03:26:00 +0000 http://www.thebigdaddyweave.com/?p=338#comment-1578 I'm not arguing on behalf of Myers Park. Nor am I arguing that their autonomy as been violated. I understand that the convention has the right to establish its own parameters. However, as we are seeing with Tim Rogers' proposed giving plan, "conservatives" will continue to enact policies that will effectively "narrow the parameters of cooperation" even further (to borrow a line from Wade Burleson).<br/><br/>But to reiterate, I do find it sad whenever any congregation with such a rich heritage as Myers Park is disfellowshipped.

The convention's actions do not violate the automony of this church. The church has determined to be "welcoming AND affirming" of homosexuals and this will not change regardless of what the convention does. The convention has the right to establish its own membership parameters. I think you are off on this one. The convention’s actions do not violate the automony of this church.
