Welcome to the Conversations That Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. We have a

special guest today. Dr. Paul Hicks, who is a former member of the

Executive Committee for the Southern Baptist Convention.

He just resigned last Saturday.

We're going to get his take on the current ongoing issue controversy over what to do about sexual abuse in the convention and we'll get into

corruption and other things as well. Before we get there though a few announcements

Christianity and social justice, religions and Conflict, is doing well on Amazon.

If you want to go purchase a copy of it, you can go to Amazon and purchase it.

Or you can go to, actually you'll find the Amazon link there as well but you can go to Christianity

and social justice.com that's Christianity and social justice.com and I'm

getting a lot of good reviews from people who have read the book.

Trevor Loudon, by the way, I should probably just read this since I have it right in front of me.

Trevor Loudon sent me a message.

He's basically, he's an expert on communism

filmmaker author and he sent this to me yesterday

Western Christianity has waited a long time for this book

John Harris has done his faith a great service

by applying his considerable academic skills to the elephant in the room the

accelerating Marxist orientation of the American Church. John Harris not only

has the research and writing skills to illuminate this

deliberately obscure topic but most importantly he has the rare courage to name names

thank you Mr Harris and to that message I that I received from Trevor Louden I just want to say thank you Trevor Loudon.
