Three weeks ago in Meade, KS, I was officially nominated by the Western Area of the Central Region to serve on the Central Region's Board of Directors. If everything holds, I will be elected to the board at the ABCCR gathering this weekend in Ottawa, KS.

We are having some stress in the Central Region. Our Regional Minister, Dr. Fred Ansell, is receiving strong criticism by some of the fundamentalist pastors and churches. (I say "fundamentalist" because their actions appear to be in line with fundamentalism). I think Dr. Ansell is a outstanding leader. He is a man of God with keen leadership skills.

I have received several letters that were circulated to all the pastors & churches in the Central Region. One letter, which I received in July, is calling for Dr. Ansell's resignation. Here is the letter and an attachment. (I have blotted out names to protect the guilty).

(These documents may require enlargement after you get to them.)

I will be in Ottawa this Friday and Saturday for the ABCCR Annual Gathering. I have attended only two prior ABCCR gatherings so I have no idea what will transpire regarding this move. I will be watching this closely however. I spent 35 years in the SBC watching the fundamentalist wreck havoc at annual conventions. Now it appears the fundamentalists are attempting to do the same thing to the denomination where I went to escape this kind of lunacy.
