Bridge Out
by Rev. W. Allen Thomason
The bridge over the creek is out. It has been ever since I moved here two years ago.

Rudy Camacho, a longtime leader in both the Baptist General Convention of Texas and the Hispanic Baptist Convention of Texas, will be nominated for first vice president of the BGCT this fall.

Etica y Misiones
By Joe E. Trull

The coordinator of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Mississippi (CBF-MS) warned Southern Baptists of the dangers of fundamentalism, and urged them to “find their voice” in taking a stand for freedom and the love of Christ.
Messengers will vote on the creation of a world missions network as a not-for-profit affiliate of the BGCT at the annual state convention in Waco, November 11-12.

“Texas Baptists need a missionvision that recognizes missions
as the responsibility of everychurch and every Christian.”
