Ed: Sandy has added another verse to his CBF Sour grapes Ode. The refrain remains the same No one where I am has head of CBF because it is dying.
In one of his post above he says " there are quite a few CBF/SBC affiliated churches where the older generation contributors are CBF, and when they die out, so will that church's support of CBF."
To which I say sandy you might want to visit another General Assembly one of these days The young folk who where around Just behind Rick and yourself are actually moving into leadership and for the last decade the young leadership conference has had a very good crowd. As the old timers die off They are being replaced by those younger folk. And there are a significant number of us who have moved to ABC-USA churches and participate as individual members. Perhaps you had forgotten that CBF is made up of Churches and Individuals But as an individual my wife served a term a moderator of the BFNE the current vice moderator is also an ABC Pastor who happens to be on the National General Board of ABC We did have one of the of the older CBF Pastors die in the past 2 years.But we also have another who one who now pastors in the ABC. Coming into ABC causes no need to leave CBF.
