On Baptist Press Bashing CBF, Again

Ethics Daily has posted an article about Baptist Press stories criticizing the way CBF counts churches and the quality of education at CBF seminaries.

CBF responded to Baptist Press criticizing their stories as "mean spirited" and "unchristian."

Rev. Gil Gulich has posted a blog with links to some other responses to the Baptist Press stories.

The best response that I have seen came to me in an e-mail from David Smelser in Rancho Viejo, Texas. Here's his critique of Baptist Press:

1. Baptist Press is displaying shallow, biased journalism
2. The Executive Committee and Baptist Press are still riding a " we're the best 'cause we're bigger mentality"
3. The Cooperative Program and mission entities are in more trouble than they want to admit
4. SBC Seminary enrollments are down
5. Non-SBC seminary graduates are finding jobs quicker
