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
