ST. CHARLES – Motions concerning the trustee selection and nominating committee process, critical race theory and asking pastors and directors of missions to affirm the Baptist Faith and Message were presented by messengers during the Missouri Baptist Convention’s annual meeting Oct. 26 - 27 here.

“There can be another great revival in our land,” Muniz said.  “Jesus can do it because Jesus saves.”

Michael Wilbanks of Faith Baptist Church, Festus, spoke on behalf of his resolution, saying Missouri Baptists “are decidedly against abortion, and decidedly against fetal tissue research.”

In an exclusive interview following his address to Missouri Baptist messengers, Oct. 27, Southern Seminary President R. Albert Mohler Jr. also warned that increased secularization in the culture is ultimately unhelpful for evangelistic efforts. But regaining a “Christianity-informed conscience” will lead not only to general blessing, but also to more evangelistic receptiveness in the broader culture.

It has been announced that four pastors will be nominated to serve as Missouri Baptist Convention (MBC) officers during the MBC annual meeting here, Oct. 26-27. At press time, still no nominations for recording secretary had been announced.
