Will the Atlanta Baptist Covenant Come to Collinsville?

I have had several conversation with folks in Collinsville about my overnight trip to the Atlanta Baptist Covenant Thursday.
I sat about two chairs away from President Carter Friday afternoon in the breakout session with Daniel Carro and Richard Wilson on Immigration Theology, titled Welcoming the Stranger.

I will come back to this in the next few days, further networking and hoping to probe the conscience of the town on this justice issue.

Here is how it is beginning to play at the forums at bl.com


Just click on the blue I Have and probe around. Several in Collinsville are very proficient at navigating this site.
Here they can see what the Baptist network of Becky Kennedy, Jon Appleton, the Habitat Community of John and Susan Weaver Morgan, and the Baptist roots of Matthew Morgan are contemplating.
I heard Becky's former preacher, of Waco, now in Decatur, Ga. preach Thusday night. She brought tears to my eyes.
Just click on I have and when you bring up the whole piece you can read an earlier oped by Daniel Carro.
He had very interesting observation about the politics of security and how 30,000 people disappeared in his native Argentina; just like to a much lesser fate so far, I have disappeared from the church rolls of Collinsville Baptist Church.
