You can find more information by going to http://www.greer-heard.com. The Baptist Center for Theology and Ministry is co-sponsoring the event, where Lemke’s paper will be discussed. This year’s Greer-Heard topic is entitled “The Future of Atheism” and should be very interesting.

They have not announced who will be on the panel to discuss Lemke’s paper. The title of his paper is what caught my eye. “What is a Baptist? How to differentiate a Baptist from a Presbyterian.”

I am already wondering what the other questions will be!

I have seen that blog as I referenced it in a “quick hits” post early last week. I have not seen the conference, however. The panel looks pretty impressive with McGrath and Craig (among others). Are you going?

I think you are right about Dockery as an excellent candidate for such statemen in our convention. While the younger generation know little of the men aforementioned, it is also true that many they do know, they unfortunately don’t like. That said, in order to keep our Convention from being splintered into the sectarian movements with emphasis on non-essential matters, we need a commanding voice who will stress the essential message of the gospel by which we can unite. This younger generation in the SBC “pants” for things like Together for the Gospel and is “provoked” with the politics of yesteryear like resolution #5 (among others). Dockery has the listening ear of both camps and has the ability to reach into the hearts of this younger generation as well as open the eyes of some from the old guard who quickly are losing their following.

I don’t want to get ahead of my sharing my post-interview reflections (which will be posted with a summary on Saturday), but I felt it was worth “amening” what you said. :)

We barely know Criswell and Hobbs. We need new statesmen to help point the way forward.”
I think Dr. Dockery is an excellent candidate for establishing a Baptist vision for the future with steadfast ties to our past.

“I believethis consensus must be grounded in our shared commitment to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Quintessential, Dr. Dockery! I have always admired the fact that he is foremost an evangelical & a Baptist who seeks to center his vision around the Biblical Gospel instead of sectarian movements.

Looks great, so far, Tim, I think it’s gonna be a good week.
