Welcome to conversations that matter podcast. My name is John Harris. We are

going to do two episodes on the Southern Baptist Convention. Today we're going to

talk about a recent nominee for president of the convention

because Ed Litton the current president is not seeking re-election. So we're going to talk

about Willie Wright's the new one of the nominated people from the really the more progressive side and I'll show you that to be the new president of the

denomination and then tomorrow we're going to talk about Almolar a little bit he's of in a bind. Some of the things he said in the

past are starting to catch up with them, and I'm going to show you the bind he's in and

how he's being used in, or the pressure that's being applied to him.

And then we're also going to talk about the racial reconciliation Sunday, Kerfuffle that happened.

I think that was last Sunday, if I not mistaken so let's start though in this

episode and just talk about the current nominee for president and I do want to say that I do this podcast some of you are probably wondering why talk about the

SBC John we know how you feel about it and there's really two reasons there are

people that are conservative in their theology they're traditional and the way that they've interpreted,

they want to do it the way that it's been interpreted,

they're Orthodox, and they want to really

take the denomination back from those who are progressive political

operatives, false teachers, political animals who just

seem to be very intent on making the SBC acceptable to the world. And I want to do this for them in some ways I want to help

them I want to give them information that that could assist them and then on the

flip side there's also people who are either ignorant or they know a little bit about this,

maybe they know a lot, but they are waiting for the right moment to possibly leave the

SBC.
