Study Committee worthy of Support
by Jerold McBride,
Pastor, FBC San Angelo

Those who support the BGCT should come to the annual meeting of the BGCT, October 30-31, in Corpus Christi to express their support of the theological education study committee's recommendations.

The committee exhibited integrity and courage while conducting thorough research.  Their recommendations offer Texas Baptists greater stewardship to be more effective in the work of the Kingdom of God.  it is difficult for most Baptists to grasp the amount of change that has taken place in SBC seminaries.  They are a shell of what they used to be.

The claim that the 1963 Baptist Faith and Message was an expression of "neo-orthodoxy" should feel like a slap in the face to any traditional mainstream Southern Baptist.  This is like the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the differences now found in SBC seminaries.

Mainstream Baptists who believe in historic Baptist principles must recognize the need for no longer supporting seminaries that have turned into fundamentalist institutions.
