Better to pitch in and make the BGCT what it should be: a convention focused on ministry without secular politics and religious rancor.

Hey, Lowrie was elected. Why are they complaining?

Actually, I don’t know that the BGCT’s roots arise any more out of the Baptist State Convention than they do out of the Baptist General Association. An only somewhat lesser case can be made for the three other state conventions that agreed to dissolve in 1883 rather than expect formal merger along with the BGA and the BSC into the new BGCT.

So, in 1883 at least FIVE state conventions of Southern Baptists existed in Texas. The emergence of another Baptist state convention in Texas would indeed be historic, but the mere existence of as many as three such state conventions in Texas would be neither unprecedented nor unsurpassed.

Thanks for blogging on this…I didn’t know until you wrote about it.
