Recent media reports (including the Sept. 29 issue of The Alabama Baptist) about the effort to rename the Southern Baptist Convention, removing “Southern,” are troubling but not surprising.
In observing our fellow Baptists and reading Southern Baptist literature and publications, it has been obvious for a long time that our organization is leaning or moving toward a politically correct, bland image — perhaps liberal is a better word.
Some of our leadership refers to this as “moderation” or “a more middle of the road” position.
