Living in and being from West Texas, I saw him preaching on TV a couple of months ago and was surprised by his title interim, a bit unusual I thought. Now the other shoe has dropped and the BGCT is left again looking for an executive director. I have no real feelings for or against Everett, though he never moved the needle much for me. More and more the BGCT has become irrelevant to my ministry efforts. We do what we do as a church, support those areas we like. Other then that out where I am and where Everett is going the BGCT is understood to be an I-35 corridor convention. Sure attempts are made to reach out and help the further reaches of Texas, but they come off as what they are window dressing more so then actual help.
Though really are there any state conventions that actually much help? When state conventions are voting to reduce their own funding to a 50/50 split, do the people in the pew really see the need for a state convention? I guess not. Perhaps Everett can see the writing on the wall and wants to instead be in a place or relevant ministry.
