The IMB BOT BRIEF
If it wasn't so sad it would be funny. The International Mission Board Board of Trustees have finally released the awaited "papers" or "briefs" It is about time. Many people have posted on this issue. Art Rogers, Tim Sweatman, Marty Duren, Wade Burleson, and others.
To me the "briefs" don't represent the Southern Baptists I know. Why are we narrowing the parameters for potential missionaries? I am amazed at the courage and sacrifice it takes to be a missionary. Now the IMB BOT is making it more difficult for those who are SB and have been called to be "M's" to be appointed.
There has been too much secrecy! Our "M's" deserve better! The whole "BLOGGATE" "TONGUEGATE" And "BAPTISMGATE" have gone too far! If we believe the BFM 2000 is our standard then that should be good enough!

Amen, Kevin. Like you said on my blog, it seems they may be content to "weed out" those who disagree. Make sure you catch my reply to your comment.
Very well said. It seems that the last thing we should be doing is discouraging faithful, God-called Southern Baptists from serving through our missions boards.
