Yesterday was a big day for the Southern Baptist Convention. They voted on some important motions, including the Great Commission Resurgence which was pretty controversial, though it did pass. Read about that here. Recently there also continues to be a lot of controversy surrounding calvinism in Southern Baptist churches and seminaries. Calvinists are still the minority in this denomination. Apparently the SBC isn’t favorable to the Acts 29 network—a calvinist church planting network—so pastor Joshua Shank decided to propose a motion to widen its support…in the form of a rap. It was light hearted and the convention seemed to welcome his motion. The only question I’m left wondering is if, ”Teamwork will make the dream work,” then why is Acts 29 exclusively calvinistic? With such a young, talented, and visionary network of church planters, it would be great to see it open up to better relationships with those who are outside this particular theological camp.

About
My name is Andrew Dragos and I am a high school youth worker in the Detroit area. Right now youth ministry is where the Lord would have me be, but besides being "In Christ" I have other identity markers that when jumbled together create a diverse group of things that fancy my interests. One day I hope to teach, write, or lead in a way that draws on all aspects of my life story to impact God's kingdom. In the process, I am struggling to become a minimalist of sorts so that "to live is Christ" may become more true of me every day. Read more on my ABOUT page.-
