The group is gathering at Mid-America Theological Seminary to hear from Dr. Lee Brand and others associated with the Conservative Baptist Network, starting in just a few minutes. Follow along here for tweets. When I signed in, I was the only media here. Perks to being in Memphis!

I watched two hours of the film "Enemies Within the Church," which is showing tomorrow at Mid-America Theological Seminary in Cordova. commercialappeal.com/story/news/202… via @memphisnews Some info that didn't make it into the story: Filmmaker Cary Gordon said that while the film isn't focused on Southern Baptists, many of those willing to sit down in front of a camera were members of the denomination.

This story took more than a year for me to report. That’s not including the time several reporters spent on the story before I took it on. Give it a read: Kansans drank contaminated water for years. The state didn’t tell them. kansas.com/news/politics-… Also a HUGE thanks to Jean Hays, @jonshorman and @gabriella_dunn for work on this story.
