Texas Bound

I'm headed to Austin Texas to attend the annual meeting of the Baptist General Convention of Texas.

I'll be attending as a guest. Dr. Lavonn Brown and Rev. Dale Geis will be attending as messengers from NorthHaven Church in Norman, OK. As far as I know, this is the first time that messengers from an Oklahoma church will be attending the BGCT convention as fully participating members.

This is yet another sign that the geographical boundaries that separated moderate Baptists are dissolving. NorthHaven Church has no desire to affiliate with the fundamentalist controlled Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma. It is affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Oklahoma and, now, the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
