Ed Schmeltekopf died a couple days ago. He served as Associate Executive Director of the Baptist General Convention of Texas for nearly two decades.
Ed was probably the most helpful and selfless denominational executive that I have ever known. While I served on the Executive Board of the BGCT, I took a number of controversial positions and made a few motions and resolutions that made others uneasy. Ed was always quick to encourage conscientious dialogue and discussion, whether he agreed with the position taken or not, and he frequently offered historical information and suggestions that served to strengthen the positions that were being discussed.
