As readers may recall, our July 2005 issue featured a front cover commentary regarding the upcoming (at that time) Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) that wasto be held in Nashville, TN on June 21 and 22. The commentary was a plea to Southern Baptists to support a pending resolution which encouraged Baptist parents to investigate whether or not their pubic schools were endorsing and promoting the homosexual agenda and called parents to take action to stop such activities or consider removing their children from the public education system.
    At the 2004 Baptist Convention a much stronger resolution authored by retired General T. C. Pinckney and Attorney Bruce Shortt, which flatly condemned the public education system and called for parents to remove their children from public schools, failed to make it out of the Convention’s Resolutions Committee. This year’s resolution (The Baucham-Shortt Resolution, named after the sponsors of the resolution, Voddie Baucham and Bruce Shortt) even though it was watered down from what was originally submitted to the Resolutions Committee, at least made it out of the Committee, was brought to the floor and, praise be to Jesus, was passed. At least it’s a beginning point. A beginning point which I pray will start a mass exodus of Christian children out of the Godless, faith destroying, public education system.
