This looks like a good group. I know Wright-Riggins slightly. He is impressive. I know David Goatley better and he is very impressive. Both represent the best of the African-American Baptist tradition that seems to unite personal and social gospel far more seamlessly than we white folks do.

I haven't met Daniel Carro, but he is on faculty of the new John Leland Theological Center in VA, so he is clearly juggling many jobs--something with which I relate.
