The Christian Life Commission is staying true to its mission of keeping Alabama Baptists informed about today’s social and moral issues, said Bill Morgan.
Reporting to state convention messengers during the Wednesday morning session of the annual meeting, Morgan, chairman of the commission, noted the special Sunday emphases the group promotes to highlight issues like world hunger, racial reconciliation and the sanctity of human life.
Morgan, who is director of missions for Autauga Baptist Association, said many of these Sundays focus on issues that the Alabama Citizens Action Program (ALCAP) is directly involved in, such as Anti-gambling Sunday and Substance Abuse Sunday.
He urged churches to collect a special offering on those Sundays to support ALCAP in its coming year of transitioning leadership between ALCAP Executive Director Dan Ireland and a new co-director.
He also said the commission keeps Baptists informed through its newsletter, which has a circulation of more than 4,600. So far in 2006, the newsletter has addressed issues such as methamphetamine use and using "The DaVinci Code" as an evangelism tool. (TAB)
