Homeschooling and the SBC
Posted: Tue Jun 18, 2013 5:38 am
The SBC Annual meeting topic morphed into a discussion of schools and homeschooling. I started a new topic and copied the last two posts here:
Ed: Note the Shortt & Pickney resolution of 2004 SB Convention mentioned above Failed. So it seems the bulk of the messengers at that Convention where not overly impressed with Pickney and Shortt's arguments any more than I was when sandy re-posted them in this forum. And this was 12 years after the take over crowed within the SBC has declared victory.
Sandy why in the world did you include those two in your list of authorities on this subject?

Sandy: Pinckney and Shortt's resolution was presented in 2004. Southern Baptists were latecomers to the Christian school movement, and in 2004, about 3% of the churches in the convention had the day schools that would have been the recipients of students leaving the public system. Today, about 15% of SBC churches have days schools, there is an organization, the Southern Baptist Association of Christian Schools, and there is a growing trend among Southern Baptists to home educate or to place their children in a Christian school.
You can say what you want about the individuals, just see if you can challenge their assertions with facts. Well done research is still accurate, regardless of the personality or the politics of the person who does it.
