The Annual Meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention held in Indianapolis is underway this afternoon and a couple more “conservative” motions were made.
Bill Sanderson from North Carolina moved that Broadway Baptist Church of Ft. Worth would not be in friendly cooperation with the SBC.
AND
A motion was made to require educational institutions receiving Cooperative Program funds to teach creation science as the correct understanding of the origin of life.
In other news, Johnny Hunt of FBC Woodstock, Georgia was elected President of the SBC on the first ballot with 52.94.
FBC Woodstock was named the 30th most influential church in America by the Church Report in 2007. According to one blog, Hunt endorsed Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee from the pulpit of FBC Woodstock on the Sunday before the Georgia Presidential Primary. You can read about that here.
