Aug 26 Update! A CHOICE: Alternative Histories & Divergent Paths for Missouri Baptist Convention Executive Board & First Baptist Church of Bolivar


_____________________UPDATE!______________________

A CHOICE:
Alternative Histories and Divergent Paths
_______________________________________________


Marie's request to the Missouri Baptist Executive Board for an EMERGENCY MEETING (described here) of the Executive Board -- for the purpose of initiating its investigation -- will be sent (and posted) today.

However, a second letter to the First Baptist Church of Bolivar, who are at the heart of this matter in more ways than anyone can count, will also be sent (and posted).

This second letter
will request that the First Baptist Church of Bolivar conduct its own internal investigation, initiated by a Preliminary Agreement to be pledged and witnessed by the FBC-Bolivar Deacon Board on Sunday, August 31, 2008.

This Investigative Committee of the First Baptist Church of Bolivar will report directly to the Missouri Baptist Convention Executive Board at weekly intervals throughout September and October, until the yearly Missouri Baptist Convention meeting at the end of October 2008.

At that time, if the
situation is not more fully resolved, the Missouri Baptist Convention Executive Board will be asked to intervene.


PLEASE EXPECT THESE LETTERS HAND_DELIVERED
BY WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27!
