Dr. Floyd Reverses Course

Jun 22nd, 2006 | By art rogers | Category: Greensboro '06, SBC

Dr. Ronnie Floyd has reversed course in the issue of a minor league baseball stadium. Cox Cable network has been running spots of Dr. Floyd endorsing the stadium twice a day for a couple of weeks. Floyd has now pulled his support of the stadium, citing the stadium plans to sell beer during [...]



Almost Right

Jun 21st, 2006 | By art rogers | Category: Greensboro '06, SBC

The ABP has an article about Bill Sanderson’s amendment to the Executive Committee’s motion to rephrase by-law 15 (f) concerning Trustee Qualifications.
The article is right about most things, but wrong in its title and in the declaration that the heart of the Executive Committee recommendation had been stripped from the proposal. In fact, only [...]



Think I’m The Only One?

Jun 19th, 2006 | By art rogers | Category: Blogging, Greensboro '06, SBC, San Antonio '07

So you think I am the only one who thinks Texas will matter next year?
Here’s what Phillips Lynn says:
Greensboro is Behind Us, Now What?
OK. Everybody now. Tell us what you think about Texas.
(As always, mind your manners.)



Don’t Mess With Texas

Jun 19th, 2006 | By art rogers | Category: Blogging, Greensboro '06, SBC, San Antonio '07

The Inner Circle has never lost in Texas. It is their strong tower, so to speak. However, I know a couple of SBT pastors who’s sympathies do not run to the Inner Circle. These are not bloggers, either. I wonder how many others like them are there? I am led [...]



Missional Gets A Laugh

Jun 17th, 2006 | By art rogers | Category: Blogging, Fun, Greensboro '06, Missional, SBC

Right before folks were nominated and then received votes for President, Marty Duren and I were looking for a seat in the convention center. Of course, this is the premier moment and everyone was there for the vote.
We ended up going to the second level, which was also quite full. As we made [...]



Ronnie’s Take On It All

Jun 16th, 2006 | By art rogers | Category: Blogging, Greensboro '06, SBC

I am glad to hear that Ronnie Floyd is ready to move on now the SBC is over. I have said a few good things about him, but raised more questions concerning his CP giving. I had thought that he was handling himself fairly well in defeat, being that I perceived him to [...]



My Friday Photo

Jun 16th, 2006 | By art rogers | Category: Blogging, Greensboro '06, SBC

Steve McCoy and Joe Thorn always post great pics on Friday. Mine is not great, but…
Since no one sent me a picture of myself for my photo contest, here is a phone pic I took. Look for a few more, later.



In The News

Jun 15th, 2006 | By art rogers | Category: Blogging, Church, Greensboro '06, SBC

The Southern Baptist Convention and I made some Kentucky publications this week.
Our state Baptist paper is the Western Recorder. David Winfrey is a good reporter and a good guy. He published some of my comments and quoted some things off of my blog – from the “A Clumsy Retreat” article – in his [...]



Analysis

Jun 14th, 2006 | By art rogers | Category: Greensboro '06, Live Blogging, SBC

I know some folks who will kill me for this, but I slept in. I had about 8 hours of sleep over three and a half days and just couldn’t get up. Frankly, I am still a little groggy. To top it off, the maids changed out my wife’s high thread count [...]



Hoodwinked

Jun 14th, 2006 | By art rogers | Category: Greensboro '06, Live Blogging, SBC

In my last post concerning the amendment of SBC by-law 15, I said the SBC was “hoodwinked.” In my immediate absence (I went to visit with some of the folks from today and just finished at just after 1:00 am Eastern) several good questions were raised about this.
The Executive Committee showed fortitude in dealing [...]
