The Agenda For Today: MBC Day 2

October 31, 2006

Today is a pretty full schedule. The convention meets from 8:15 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. tonight with a few breaks in between. I won't bore you with the details of the schedule, I'll just list the things going on today that I am interested in and that I think will be fairly significant.

First of all at 9:00 is the report of the Credentials Commitee. Then we will hear from and vote to approve the reports from the Committee on Convention Committees and the Nominationg Committee. We will also hear from the Executive Board Staff and the one I'm really looking forward to, the Legal Task Force Report. I'm interested in what is going on with the battle between the convention and the 5 breakaway agencies and how close we are to bringing all of that mess to a conclusion. I guess I hold out hope that we will see our agencies return to the Missouri Baptist Convention and hopefully before they strip Windemere into nothing but a bare wasteland.

At 11:00 a.m. we will have the introduction of Miscellaneous Business. It's interesting to hear some of the things that come up during this session. We don't get to vote on the items until Wednesday, but they are all introduced today in order to be reviewed.

At 11:15 a.m. we will elect the president. This of course means that only one guy will run for the position and the executive board will simply cast its vote and the guy will be the president without any disagreement. This amazes me, but it happens.

In the afternoon there is really not much worth noting. There is another Introduction of Miscellaneous Business at 2:45.

The evening service tonight is an IMB Commissioning Service done by Jerry Rankin. He's going to be speaking to our association in Franklin County next Sunday night, so I guess I get a double dose of Rankin this week. That could be quite prophetic.
