Setting CBF's Record Straight

Kudos to Richard Dunn, of the Sojourning Pilgrim blog and pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Enid, for responding to the negatively biased Baptist Press propaganda that recently made the pages of the Enid News and Eagle. He set the record straight about the recent changes to CBF's "purpose" statement.

Dr. Mike Kear, of the Emmaus Theory and Outside the Camp blogs and a member of Cornerstone Church, has also made some valuable comments on this entry.

The presence of Dunn, Kear and others at Cornerstone makes Enid one of the brightest spots in Oklahoma for moderate, mainstream Baptists.

Meanwhile, CBF now says it will reconsider the changes that it made to the purpose statement.

Dr. Prescott,

An similar article was published in The Gainesville Sun's religion section last Sunday. A very good letter to the editor appeared in that paper this week to "correct" misconceptions. It was written by the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Gainesville.

I'm sure this same article in various forms has appeared in a lot of mainstream newspapers across the country.

God Bless,
