'Indy Timeline' of Upcoming Events Blogs draw attention to SBC showdown
"Blogs already have revolutionized secular politics, and whether a subset of it has revolutionized Baptist politics will be seen at the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting June 13-14 in Greensboro, N.C."
"But this time, the struggle is between young conservatives and fundamentalists loyal to the convention establishment. Internal tensions have been thrust into the SBC spotlight mainly by bloggers—the ever-expanding network of ideological entrepreneurs who analyze and elaborate on their own websites. In the year since the SBC last met, reform-minded bloggers in the denomination have begun to form their own community on the Internet—and they have had a lot to discuss. Since 2005’s annual meeting, Southern Baptists have witnessed:
-- The top executives at one of their mission boards resign amid scandal.
-- The president of another SBC mission board embroiled in conflict with trustees.
-- An unprecedented attempt by those trustees to remove one of their colleagues.
-- A decline in the number of baptisms among the denomination’s churches."
