SBC…Good, but not Good enough

I’ve read the list of the Great Commission Resurgence Task force and I think it is good start but doesn’t go far enough into the emerging SBC churches (notice I didn’t say Emergent church, so please don’t throw stones at me). If deep change is going to happen, we have got to move beyond the established guard. We’ll always get what we’ve always got if we always do what we’ve always done.

Missing from this conversation are the likes of Bob Roberts, church- planting pastor who is living a glo-cal ministry. Erwin McManus, pastoring, a missional church that is penetrating many diverse cultures of the greater LA region. Where is Ed Stetzer, SBC prime voice on the cultural changes and the greater missional movement? Would SB ever consider thinking beyond the tight SBC umbrella to enlist the perspective and input conservative missional churches? What about Tim Keller or Francis Chan? These are just a few options.

Loading the task force with megachurch pastors who have been leading the convention for years isn’t radical enough change from my seat. To save the work and mission of our convention, deep radical change must be made, that will require a new set of eyes and ideas.
