I was somewhat motivated to make the trek this year because my daughter is working for one of the seminaries and is here on their behalf. Too hot for my wonderful wife who prefers heat/humidity of 90/80 rather than 105/20.
I'm interested in hearing more about the pastors' conference. I think this grassroots movement of change was an unique success and hope it went well.William Thornton wrote:The pastors conference, a private meeting always held the Sunday and Monday before the SBC annual meeting has been a showcase for megapastors, celebs, non-SBC big names, etc. this year a no-name blogger was president and the event featured mostly small church pastors who divided up one book (Philippians) and preached through it. There were 12 preachers: African-American, Latino, Asian, and white. Most younger, a couple of greyhairs.
It was the first authentic grassroots movement in the SBC in some time.
