Dr. Walter Shurden came to New England and was the speaker at a program organized by the Baptist Heritage Center of ABCORI Saturday, November 3rd. He said that there are a number of issues related to our identity in this society: cultural issues, survival issues, and denominational issues.
In considering our history and baptist principles, I believe that we have a golden opportunity in these postmodern times to raise the banner of freedom and celebrate our diversity. We are the only baptist denomination that has lived out this passion for diversity. Yet, many have attempted to achieve uniformity among us.
What do you think?

I believe our strength is in our diversity!

Loved meeting Dr. Shurden. Thanks to our BHC. Perhaps our diversity reflects a greater than average willingness to change instead of regimentation. Is not change the core of Christian life?
