The Southern Baptist Convention Should Be Led by Pastors (Tom Ascol)
In this post, Tom Ascol writes, “To put it bluntly, the Southern Baptist Convention needs to be led by pastors. Granted, there are some pastors who are eager to be enablers of or fellow travelers with wayward bureaucrats. I am not talking about those guys.”
As a pastor of a BMA congregation (though have pastored a dually-alligned congregation in the past), and someone who still am active in SBC state-level ministries – I agree. It’s one thing I’m thankful for in our association (BMAA, BMA-Arkansas, etc.), is that leadership is in elected PASTORS.
