Jonathan Howe & Amy Whitefield offer some historic perspective on cancellation of #SBC2020. @baptistpress @Jonathan_Howe @acwhit facebook.com/BaptistPress/v…
A few inaccuracies make their analysis less helpful & seem more simplistic than the situation actually is, however. 1/4

1st #SBC not *cancelled* in 1945 b/c no provision allowed them to. Rather they spoke of SBC as *deferred* They actually looked to have it if possible. They amended Constitution in 1946 to accommodate *cancelling* annual meeting apparently in response to wartime dilemma. 2/4 
2nd while P. Neff remained #SBC president in 1945, there existed no officer *term limits* in 1945. Term limits for president did not come until 1952 when Constitution was amended to limit president to 2 yrs. 3/4
Here's the deal, I am disappointed on a number of levels about #SBC2020 being canceled. I still think that *perhaps* it was a bit early to make that call, however, I understand this was a big decision and it had to be made.
Now, I will share my real frustration:
Now, I will share my real frustration:
How can our leadership come together and unanimously decide something like rescuing us and our neighbors from physical dangers (COVID-19), when it takes so much fighting, backbiting, name-calling, and what at times feels like a brawl to make decisions on spiritual matters?
Would to a Holy and Righteous God that our leaders would treat the spiritual viruses in the SBC as seriously and decisively as COVID-19.
This situation PROVES that we do have the ability to come together and make decisions when we deem it necessary.

You know who doesn't care about the latest SBC issues?
- The senior adult man in my church whose wife is under Hospice care & going to die very soon.
- The woman in my church ignoring "Valentine's Day" b/c her husband ignored his vows & ran away w/ another.
