There aren’t nearly enough BGCT-elected trustee or other leadership positions for anyone, much less everyone, to feel included as you do. That’s the point.

Michael,

As evidenced by your list, the Julie’s still lead all the rest 2-1.

Lee), I have to hand it to such other fine preachers as Linda Weaver-Williams, Nancy Hastings Sehested, Cindy Weber (my pastor), Molly Marshall (one of my mentors), Sarah Shelton, Amy Butler, Mary Hammond, April Baker, Elizabeth Pugh, and LeAnn Blackert, to name just a handfull of the great Baptist preaching women currently out there.

Is it remarkable, or totally understandable, that women pastors named Julie are among the greatest preachers in New Baptist-dom, as evidenced by their program invitations to BGCT and CBF events? I think they outnumber "George's," "Aaron's," and "Chuck's" on these programs, probably trailing only "John's" and "Michael's." Quite impressive--proportionally speaking.

In reading some of the latest news about the BGCT and the proposed amendments that would affect churches like Wilshire, I have had a kind of surreal feeling wondering who these people are they are talking about. I don't feel the need to defend myself or the church, but I wish everyone had a feeling of being included as we do. Sometimes being included is as frustrating as not being included. The decisions made and directions taken by the BGCT are mind-boggling at times, and I only wish I had the influence to peddle that is attributed to me. But alas, perception is reality to many. Thanks for your good work. BDW,

These proposals were aimed specifically at Texas Baptist congregations such as Wilshire Baptist in Dallas and their pastor. Today's post notes the great work that Wilshire Baptist Church is doing through their pastoral internship program, a program that has obviously helped put gifted young men AND women in Baptist pulpits.
