Right between those two quotes was this very telling bit of shadiness:


It's important to know that:

Chuck Kelley is Dorothy Patterson's brother.

Brad Jurkovich, the spokesman for this reactionary outfit, was brought on to share the platform with Paige Patterson at the recent Pigg conference.

So it’s ‘shady’ & ‘reactionary’, got it. I think it’s hopeful, & past due if the SBC is to survive. They don’t represent me in their evolved state, that I can tell you. They are on the wrong road at the moment, merging with all the woke traffic on the road to nowhere.
One more thing........The shadiest thing I’ve seen lately is how they ‘handled’ the dismissal of Paige Patterson. It went down just the way they planned, with barely a whimper. Onward, isn’t that a fave of the left?

Well I haven’t noticed any “woke” movement in my Church. I can imagine Satan has wiggled his way into the SBC tho.

I suppose I should get out more

Folks who are said to be "woke" use identity politics to gain power so they can dictate their "take from others" sinful views. We had 70 years of misery in the Soviet Union. The misery in China says volumes about a "top down" regime. Near to us we have Cuba. You would have thought the young would know about scapegoating.

They had a similar group back in the late 60's and early 70's. I forget the exact name but it did have the name conservative in it- does anyone remember?

I remember the group founded by M. O. Owens and Bill Powell, the "Baptist Faith and Message Fellowship" back in the 70s, which helped start the SBC Conservative Resurgence. They also published a newsletter, but don't recall the title.

A new Conservative Baptist Network has been formed within the Southern Baptist Convention. Their website begins with five bullet points:
  • The Network affirms the longstanding Baptist beliefs as expressed in the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.
  • The Network affirms the inerrancy, supremacy, and sufficiency of the Bible in all facets of life and application.
  • The Network affirms religious liberty and encourages Christian individuals and churches to influence the culture by engaging in the public policy process and demonstrating their patriotism.
  • The Network rejects various unbiblical ideologies currently affecting the Southern Baptist Convention such as Critical Race Theory, intersectionality, and social justice.
  • The Network is committed to seeing the SBC function biblically — efficiently, and strategically — believing Convention entities and leadership are accountable to and encouraged by the autonomous, local churches that cooperate together.
It also says there will be a "Launch Event" June 8, 2020.

Christian Post reports this:

Conservative Baptist Network launched amid 'woke' trend in SBC, emphasizing Scripture, evangelism

...but is a title so indistinguishing that many would (and did) pass over it.

Our posting rules say to "Use descriptive subject lines".
That is the reason.

From the information about the Baptist Faith and Message Fellowship Collection at Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives:

"The Baptist Faith and Message Fellowship organized in 1973 as a conservative voice concerned about liberalism within the Southern Baptist Convention. The Fellowship through the leadership of Bill Powell and the pages of the Southern Baptist Journal, took an aggressive path from the first publication. Powell attacked “liberal” professors and through letter and print, challenged leaders to affirm the Fellowship’s conservative positions. The Southern Baptist Journal, a monthly tabloid, became the voice for the organization and continued a forceful assault on college and seminary professors and convention leaders. The Fellowship played a significant role in the controversy that erupted in the Southern Baptist Convention in 1979. The Fellowship continued through the late 1980’s and ceased to exist when conservatives gained lasting control of the Southern Baptist Convention. William (Bill) Powell and M.O. Owens served as significant leaders in the organization."

That's what it was — The Southern Baptist Journal. Thanks for finding the proper data!

There was a conservative renewal but now the social justice warriors want to bend everyone to their leftist agenda. I have packed my bags and decided on another denomination in case the sjws win again at the annual meeting.

I hear you, but just note that, contrary to popular opinion, "Southern Baptist" is not a denomination, just a convention.
