The following quote is part of a larger statement posted today on the BGCO’s website:
Oklahoma City, OK — January 20, 2006 – “It is unfortunate that actions by trustees of the International Mission Board (IMB) have expanded to such a broad public forum. It is our prayer that the Lord will bring peace and harmony to the situation,” said Anthony L. Jordan, executive director-treasurer of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma.
So, while the actions are not unfortunate, the resulting debate is? Interesting…

Is not healthy, humble debate good?
I guess I don’t understand why it’s a problem to have this issue in debate.

My point exactly. Jordan seems only to be concerned that the actions by trustees of the International Mission Board (IMB) have expanded to such a broad public forum. I guess he would prefer that it be handled more quietly, and I guess I can understand the concern for our image with the public at large. But now that it is in the open (one side, anyway), I would like to see those seeking Burleson’s removal lay their cards on the table.
Whoops, and evil playing card analogy. Forgive me Father, for I have sinned…
