Thanks, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship!
In my travels around the country and the world, many of the most creative, dedicated, generous, hard-working, and humble people I meet are Baptists. They’re serving the poor and needy. They’re welcoming refugees and making room at the table for people rejected by others. They’re emerging from a history of patriarchy and grappling with full equality for women and LGBTQ people. They’re launching micro-enterprise projects, creating beloved community for people who live outdoors, extending health care to underserved people, and more.
That’s the spirit I encountered this week speaking at CBF’s General Assembly and 25th anniversary. It was an honor to be invited to speak. I promised folks I would make my slides available, so here they are, below.
If people are interested in more information on the Doctrine of Discovery, I encourage you to see the work of Mark Charles, and stay tuned for his upcoming 2018 book (with Professor Soong-Chan Rah) on the subject.
If people are interested in seeing what I’m doing to help churches and church leaders engage with the issues I addressed, check out Convergence Leadership Project. And for more on the importance of songs and worship in the spiritual movement we need, see Convergence Music Project.
