Jimmy Carter Helps Traditional Baptists

Click here to read President Carter's Letter

Former President Jimmy Carter, America's most well know Baptist layman, has joined efforts with Texas Baptists Committed and the traditional Baptist movement nationally. He has personally written a letter expressing his feelings and support for traditional Baptist principles. The president's letter along with a tape of Charles Wade's talk to the BGCT staff in June after the SBC met and revised the Baptist Faith and Message Statement, is being mailed to every person on our mailing list.

It was a great honor to meet with President Carter and his wife, Rosalyn, in their home in Plains, Georgia, and share with him the exciting things happening in Texas and across Baptist life. We are pleased he wanted to lend his support to our efforts.

I hope each of you will read his personal letter carefully and listen to Dr. Wade's tape. Make copies of the tape and letter and give them to your friends. Finally, do everything possible to be in Corpus Christi for the BGCT annual meeting on Oct. 30-31, 2000.
