 Ecumenism:the doctrine of the ecumenical movement that promotes cooperation and better understanding among different religious denominations: aimed at universal Christian unity

According to a 1996 Resolution Southern Baptists are completely against this :-(

I do a lot of SBC research for my job. I make a weekly newsletter, and one page is dedicated to resolutions passed by the SBC (southern baptist convention). I work for a sb church & they are very adament about their folks knowing what they believe, which is good! 


The resolutions generally affirm why I am no longer a sb (or was I ever?)

I think some groups make God in their own image instead of the other way around.

Yup. I agree.


There are quite a few issues I have with SBC. I am pleased to find a group called soulforce to challenge the SB & focus on the family specifically to demand that they change their discriminatory stance (read: LGBT). Good for them!


I hope they (souldforce) grow b/c they are also taking on the military! What a large bite to take off at one time!
