Mismanagement at NAMB Revealed

Bob Reccord, President of the Southern Baptist Convention's North American Mission Board, is being asked to resign under threat of termination.

Here's a quote from Greg Warner's ABP story:
Reccord took the brunt of a scathing report issued by NAMB trustees March 23, which faulted the missions leader for poor management, autocratic decision-making, extravagant spending on failed ministry projects, apparent conflicts of interest in no-bid contracts for a friend, and creating a "culture of fear" that prevented staffers from questioning the abuses.
If autocratic decision-making and creating a "culture of fear" are reasons for dismissal, then all SBC executives should resign. These have been characteristics of the entire fundamentalist takeover movement.
