This is a great service, yet also a well kept secret. What we lack is his courage to take bold action. That is always the hard part. Loyalty to Christ before loyalty to man made organizations may be one good place to start. American Baptists keep alive the spiritual values shown by our own Rodger Williams.

I'll be there, and a bunch of Rhode Islanders. Stan Lemons will co-facilitate a workshop. I hope we'll represent ABCORI well.

If only we could all be in Atlanta. Will ABCORI have any representatives there? Our son is now in a Southern Baptist seminary...much to this Andover Newton graduate's chagrin! But if I dare suggest that we are a diverse denomination it is essential that we include in our fellowship all Baptist voices willing to engage in serious conversation.

I think it ought to be the basis of discussion here in ABCORI. Baptists do have a unique place in our culture and could make a significant contribution to a healthy future for our nation. Joan and I spend three months of the year in a Southern Baptist Church and have found that there is a longing for a more gracious spirit among Baptists there as well. Lilliana,
