Retro-innovative Georgia Baptist Convention time travelers
Seeking to disfellowship Atlanta’s Druid Hills Baptist Church, the Georgia Baptist Convention (GBC) is fleeing present reality. The GBC executive committee recommended that change at its March 16 meeting and Shelia M. Poole of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote today:
“It seems sad that they decided to go backwards in time,” said the 52-year-old Mimi Walker, a former missionary in the Philippines. “I’m not sure what the value is of trying to go back in time when women were held in subservience.”
The overarching result, not value, is a steadily smaller, more strictly Batholic and of course less diverse Southern Baptist Convention.
