Latest News: Disaster Relief updates; political debate; church resources and more…

To read a quick recap of some of the latest news reports from The Baptist Paper, see below.

1. “People are still in shock. Many of them have lost everything — literally. This water rose so quickly. It’s such a tragedy. We just wanted to come serve and help show them there is light at the end of the tunnel,” said Chuck Crabb, Tennessee Baptist Disaster Relief leader for a team serving in East Tennessee. Crabb is among those volunteers throughout the Southeast helping with Helene and Milton cleanup.

2. A new poll of pastors’ preferences in the upcoming presidential election shows not only the divide between clergy in political terms, but also the difficulty in talking about politics, especially in church.

First person: Do we have separation of church and … debate?

3. In an upcoming free webinar titled “Unpacking the State of Groups,” leaders will discover key findings from Lifeway Research’s recent State of Groups study —a comprehensive post-pandemic survey on groups and groups ministry.
