Don Rasmussen, The interim Executive Minister for the Upstate NYS Region of ABC-USA announced yesterday at our Regional Board of Missions meeting, that next Friday, he will be in Philadelphia attending a planing session for a proposed North East Regional Celebration of the New Baptist Covenant to be held some time in 2010. Although Dr.Roy Medley the General Secretary of ABC-USA is convening this planing session, Rasmussen said Medley had emphasized that they want the regional meeting to be representative of the many Baptist groups and individuals found all across the Northeast an to not be dominated buy ABC.
I anticipate that groups not headquartered in this area will also bring in leaders from across the nation as well as those living and or working here.
NOTE: Regional in the above post refers to a large geographical area, not the boundaries of any particular Baptist entity.
