I'm not there (would like to be) but am happy to provide instant commentary. You may read my predictions .
There is this year the Calvinist controversy in full bloom. Moderates predicted this a couple of decades ago while on their way out the SBC door. The 2nd VP position is perceived as a contest between the Calvinists and Traditionalists.
The most significant news is that the SBC will elect a black president tomorrow but the buzz is for the calvinist/traditionalist stuff.

Dead from the Neck Up

To paraphrase WA Criswell. His SBC now, that's what it is.
I was there, NO SBC in 1990. Had Several Confrontations with Judge Pressler with God on My Side

Is anyone going to live blog it? I haven't heard anyone mention it being live blogged of the SBC blogs I follow.

The name non-change will be voted upon. If it fails it will be news. If it passes it will not be news and will be forgotten. There is no buzz about the non-change of the name.

Luter and Science
by Stephen Fox » Tue Jun 19, 2012 4:33 pm
NPR has had two national stories today about the likely presidency of Luter.
I think the real story is how will Luter and Russ Moore, Nelson Price and Bryant Wright engage science.
Inerrancy is a ruse.
Here in Bama the state legislature that cannot happen without the State's Baptists has fired top leaders of APTV for not kissing the lunacy of David Barton.
Luter is an anomaly. Just channel the ghosts of Helms and Albert Lee Smith, Pressler and Curtis Caine and the Texas Regulars.
Here is the story

The paragraph: "The reason for their alienation, rooted in history....." is pretty strong. 68 comments and counting including Franky Schaeffer. Hope many of you will wade through the comments there.
