CBF's financial struggles parallel those of the SBC (cf. GCRTF and CP promotion). The difference is that CBF doesn't have endowment funds to scotch against a recession. The most interesting development in all of this is that there are more younger faces in the CBF journey and fewer of the old heads. I see a lot of focus on the future, and Cecil Sherman is probably right in that the moderate Baptist movement is awaiting the rising of its next great leader. As Dan Vestal nears retirement, the eyes of the groups are scanning to see who will rise to take the reins for the next generation.
