Picking Up Steam: Chapman Controvesy and the SBC

Baptist bloggers et. al have not let up (rightly so, in my opinion) on the resignation/firing of Clark Logan, now former EC vice president.  In particular, many are calling on Morris Chapman to be forthcoming in his reasons for this move, which has put Chapman in hotter water compared to that stemming from his SBC Louisville EC “report.”  Rather than rehash what many have said, here are the links to the pertinent sites:

***UPDATED 7/9***Baptist 21 – “Questions Surrounding the Executive Committee: Part 1″.  Here’s Part 2.

Florida Baptist Witness (a major player thus far in reporting the goings on of this controversy) – “SBC President weighs in on Logan controversy”

Timmy Brister – “Addressing the Morris Chapman Controversy in the SBC”

It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out.  For instance, what will this controversy serve do to the sense of challenge and unity forged at SBC Louisville not even a month ago?  I pray that this does not drive us from our task at hand – GCR – and drive us into a Convention bogged down with in-fighting.

May the Lord guide our denomination, may Chapman answer the questions put forth to him, and may we quickly deal with this issue and move on to hammering out even more the GCR.

I’ll be devoting the RSS feed to the right (News in the SBC) to the latest on what’s going on in the SBC.  I’ll hopefully be adding more blogs/websites/etc. to this feed as time goes on.
