Associated Baptist Press and Ethics Daily both have articles about Wade Burleson preparing to make a motion at the upcomong Southern Baptist Convention meeting. Burleson, the International Mission Board trustee who has been censured by the rest of the board for blogging about backroom politics at the IMB, wants the SBC's Executive Committee to appoint a committee to investigate the controversy.
I commend Burleson for standing firm on his advocacy of transparency at the IMB. Baptists should expect openness, transparency, and integrity in the governance of all its boards and agencies.
Burleson's proposals should not be controversial. It's more than a shame that they are.
