INSTRUMENTS OF PEACE, Minimizing Further Harm: Individual Letters Issued, Followed by Pastoral Letters, then the Letters to the Southwest Baptist University and MBC Trustees


INSTRUMENTS OF PEACE, Minimizing Further Harm

In order to minimize further harm to those involved, several individuals will be notified by mail concerning the events of the next week.  Those individual letters should be arriving on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (May 6 - 8).

Additionally, the letter to the pastors of First Baptist Church of Bolivar should arrive within that time frame.  The pastors will be asked to intervene by taking positive action in this situation.  If they are unwilling or unable, the pastors will be asked to deliver the letter to the Southwest Baptist University Board of Trustees, who will be meeting on Monday and Tuesday, May 10 and 11 at SBU.

If the issue remains unresolved by that Tuesday, the Missouri Baptist Convention will be asked to intervene.

REDIRECTION: Although substantial alterations have been required in order to accommodate the significant changes in the situation, we will be working with First Baptist Church of Bolivar this week to effect a resolution.
