What we need is radical restructuring that is planned and not forced by lack of interest and financial support by MBC Churches.<BR/><BR/>I don't care who leads the MBC as long as they CHANGE IT and make it RELEVANT.Jim Shaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02278961736965326575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20834535.post-43824010760306260652007-06-07T16:57:00.000-05:002007-06-07T16:57:00.000-05:00Tim,And all God's people said, AMEN!Tim,<BR/>And all God's people said, AMEN!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620657390402998257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20834535.post-76206424860764038492007-06-06T12:14:00.000-05:002007-06-06T12:14:00.000-05:00Rod,I appreciate you article.

They are not needed.<BR/>Much gratitude to Roger Moran for his work and sacrifice he has given.<BR/>I have never been so disappointed in people as I have been of some of those who were leading the SOC. I can only pray they will open their eyes and their hearts and see the foolishness of these efforts and the division they are causing.<BR/>God bless you in your work.<BR/>Tim A.

Please.<BR/><BR/>Oh, wait. I already submitted my resignation, didn't I? Oh, well, never mind. I'll just have to find some other way to dominate the weak minded.<BR/><BR/>PS to you, too!<BR/><BR/>PS seriously, to anyone else out there reading this: The CLC is one of the most significant ministries in the MBC, and Rodney deserves a huge pat on the back for the leadership he has provided. God has used him to bring this ministry out of the shadows and have real impact on issues like gambling, cloning, etc. No power mongering here; just dedicated, time consuming, sacrificial service.

As punishment for your leak and to demonstrate the iron-fisted, power-hungry, control-mongering leadership of pro-Project 1000 sympathizers, YOU'RE OFF THE CLC!

You and I know the CLC is the hub of MBC power, but did you have to tell everyone else? Can you imagine our competition once people starting flooding in to serve on the CLC and help Missouri Baptists address the moral, social and political issues of our time?Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924549033803423325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20834535.post-65629968566194083132007-05-31T16:31:00.000-05:002007-05-31T16:31:00.000-05:00Amen and AMEN!

It almost makes one think you sent a little bribe across the pond to the ol' chap to make such an appropriate speech.<BR/> And how right you are. The SOC is unnecessary at best, and the focus ought to be on "serving" the MBC. Thanks again for your well-reasoned post.<BR/><BR/>(Of course, then again, aren't you one of those power hogs yourself? I mean haven't you been CLC chair since, like, forever? Hmmm, maybe you have your own agenda, wanting to rewrite the bylaws so you can serve ANOTHER term with the CLC!! Sorry, I couldn't help myself)Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620657390402998257noreply@blogger.com
