JohnTS: Unity is built on truth, not compromise....

Interpretation: One has truth or one does not. One obeys the authority or one is in rebellion against the authority. The authority is right. One follows the authority for it reveals truth and in leadership one dominates because one has the truth. If one cannot dominate, one excludes. Unity is for those who agree to dominate and follow the authority.

Interpretation 2: Love means never having to say you are sorry given that one has the truth, but love would mean, however, being open to forgiving the other who is wrong for not having it. Love means forgiving the other for continuing to be wrong, but love demands that one not involve oneself in the live of the other who does not have the truth.

William: ... You are right about the old warriors, but then one had to be radical, unreasonable to many, to effect the conservative resurgence in SB life.

Except at the time said leaders were identifying themselves as fundamentalists. If a conservative resurgence did occur, why is David no longer acceptable for the SBC? By any other name, as it is stated, a rose smells the same.

I suspect that no one who agrees with the SBC resurgence, the BFM2K, will fit the label of reasonable as moderates use it.

Among those suggested, I like Chapman's independence this year prior to Greensboro. I know little about Yarnell. I love the fact that Kelley is interested in running a seminary (unlike, apparently, the big name that presided over the namb meltdown) but his ties to Patterson, fairly or unfairly, limit his getting a hearing.

Bryant Wright seems to be in line for the SBC presidency. I love his brief radio spots here around Atlanta. They are well-received, an excellent and reasonable evangelical voice in contrast to some of the more shrill voices.

How reasonable is it for conservatives to exclude conservatives to ensure conservatism?
