The Missouri Baptist Convention
Executive Board (here)
is meeting today Monday and Tuesday
(July 14 - 15)
at Hannibal-LaGrange College,
the sister college of
Southwest Baptist University,
which is also
"owned and operated by"
the Missouri Baptist Convention.
Marie was to present a formal letter to the
Missouri Baptist Convention Executive Board
during this meeting.
However, the nomination of Billy Russell,
the pastor of First Baptist Church of Bolivar,
to the Board of Trustees
of Southwest Baptist University
has offered complications and obstacles
to Marie's Proposal to the
Missouri Baptist Convention Executive Board.
Marie is making adjustments
and we will be posting details later today (Tuesday).
