Former Executive Committee chair Stone to be nominated for SBC president

“Stone, a member of the steering council of the recently formed Conservative Baptist Network…. is the second announced nominee for SBC president, joining Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President R. Albert Mohler Jr.” - BPNews

Discussion

I do not know Stone. but he is a member of the Steering Committee of the newly formed Conservative Baptist Network, a strange group of SBC leaders (from my perspective) who are trying to seize control of the SBC and eliminate the changes of recent years, things like Prop 9, and claimed “liberalizaion” at the seminaries. The Conservative Baptist Network is purported to have been created under the aegis of former SWBTS president Paige Patterson.

Stone is simply this side’s candidate. There will be a fight.
