The Baptist Press story above explains it. Basically, Bobby Welch, one of the SBC's outstanding figures, will leave the Executive Committee, SBC, from the role of Global Evangelical Relations guy (sometimes called "Global Ambassador" or to me Ambassasor to the Galaxy, why restrict him to just the world?) and be an assistant Executive Director for the Tennessee Baptist Convention. He will retain some GER functions, says Frank Page.
The peripatetic Welch could see the handwriting on the wall back when the SBC's GCR suggested cutting the EC's budget.
