BCE Director Issues Call for Truth-Telling

As the Southern Baptist Convention prepares to deal with yet another resolution advising Baptists to pull their children out of public schools, Robert Parham, the Director of the Baptist Center for Ethics, has published an op-ed advising that the "SBC Needs to Let their Yes be Yes and No be No on Public Schools."

SBC leaders have been trying to conceal the radically theocratic nature of many of their thoughts and beliefs for more than two decades. I agree with Parham. It's time for SBC leaders to start telling the truth about their widespread disdain for public education.

Dr. Bruce, it's time I told you how important you are to my sanity --

As a woman of faith and a lifelong active member of the SBC (though we finally had to leave circa the late nineties), it is reassuring to hear a voice of Biblical adherence vis a vis the national political discourse.

Thank God for you. I only wish you had a wider audience. But I am assured that those you reach, you bless. Count me and my family among them.
