SBC Presidential Election

A few days ago, South Carolina pastor Dr. Frank Page of First Baptist Taylors (on the left) confirmed that he is going to run for president of the SBC next month in Greensboro.

His nomination comes on the heels of a relatively large controversy against other presidential nominee Dr. Ronnie Floyd of Springale, Arkansas. I think this is a good move for the convention and I applaud Dr. Page for having the courage to not listen to detractors who have said that a two-man candidacy would bring division. I disagree with these detractors. It is a new day in the SBC. This is not 1979 or 1985. The reformation in the SBC is pretty much complete and solidified. Both Floyd and Page are solid conservatives who would both do a good job. Why not let the messengers have an actual real vote and not just a blind "whatever you say" attitude to whoever the convention powers-that-be advise would do a good job? To echo Dr. Page I think a real election is "healthy" for the convention.
