IMB Exec Reverses Decision to Fire Missionaries

Kudos to Gordon Fort, Vice President of the IMB's Overseas Operations, for reversing the decision of a regional leader to terminate missionaries Wyman and Michelle Dobbs for working with the Christian Missionary Alliance on a church plant.

The turmoil at the Southern Baptist Convention's mission boards continues, but, at least in this instance, it looks like common sense has prevailed.

It's a shame no one had the courage or the sense to reinstate the scores of missionaries that were terminated or forced to resign because they could not sign the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message in good conscience.
