William made some good points in his blog. There's not much that the SBC president is going to be able to do about the baptism numbers in the SBC. You would think, though, that in a time when declines in attendance and membership, and in baptisms, are considered to be in crisis mode in the denomination, a pastor of a church that seems to be bucking those trends would be seen as an inspiration, if nothing else.
It seems that the ugliness of theological controversy is going to keep the stated priorities of Southern Baptists, those things being evangelism and missions, from ever actually being a priority over the pull of the influence of who gets to call the shots in the denomination.
