MIKE STONE Part 2: My final word on being chairman of the SBC Executive Committee

July 10, 2020

By Mike Stone NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Last week, I issued a press release concerning matters related to the SBCEC. I indicated there would be a short series of similar releases addressing several items. This, however, will be my final press release on my chairmanship as far as I intend. That will make this statement a bit longer than I would prefer but I think this is a better approach. I recognize that for some, no amount of information will ever be sufficient. More information will keep things agitated. Therefore, others will be free to have the last word, even if it is predictably an unfair, untrue, or unfavorable word. Here are some final facts about the more controversial issues of the last few months. The Election of Officers The June 16 election of officers occurred within both the spirit and the letter of our bylaws. The last-minute attempted bylaw change was a really bad idea presented in a really poor way. Its rejection required only common sense, not a conspiracy or manipulation of parliamentary procedure. Our new chairman, Mr. Slade, has acknowledged publicly that the confusion was on his part. That’s the bottom line. Regarding the accusations of impropriety, everyone has a right to his own perspective. Nobody has a … [Read more...]

MIKE STONE Part 1: Outgoing SBC Executive Committee chairman addresses concerns

July 10, 2020

By Mike Stone NASHVILLE, Tenn. - An old adage advises, “Don’t defend yourself. Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it.” That is generally excellent counsel but it fails to envision a majority of people who comprise a third category. Namely, those who are neither friend nor enemy but who are merely uninformed. Such is the case with the recent accusations made regarding my final meeting as chairman of the SBC Executive Committee (SBCEC). These are serious matters and I believe they warrant a detailed response. I plan to speak further to these items in the immediate days ahead but there are three central items I wish to address briefly today. The process of the election of SBCEC officers on June 16th The election of officers affiliated with the Conservative Baptist Network The reasons for my belief that the Conservative Baptist Network is needed within the life of the Southern Baptist Convention  First, the outgoing chairman of the SBCEC has the duty to nominate the chairpersons of what are essentially subcommittees. These various chairpersons become officers of the board, if elected following nominations from the floor. This is not some parting “power grab” by the outgoing chairman.  It is … [Read more...]

Retired NFL All-Pro denounces ‘Marxist’ BLM for its attacks on traditional family

July 9, 2020

By Will Hall, Baptist Message executive editor ALEXANDRIA, La. (LBM) – Marcellus Wiley, a retired all-pro NFL defensive end, a former co-host of ESPN’s Sports Nation, and now a sports analyst with Fox Sports 1, has rebuked the NBA’s plan to paint “Black Lives Matter” on its courts, calling the proposal “not a good idea.” In a June 30 discussion on Speak for Yourself, Wiley said the league was giving in to identity politics and that "it divides and it polarizes.” He specifically objected to the Marxist nature of the Black Lives Matter mission statement, which he quoted as stating its goals as to “dismantle the patriarchy practice” and “disrupt the Western prescribed nuclear family structure requirement.” Wiley said this attack on the traditional family structure was important to him because of the family he grew up in and “the one I’m trying to create right now.” “Being a father and husband – that’s my mission in life,” he explained. “How do I reconcile that with what I just told you with this [BLM] mission statement that says, “We dismantle the patriarchal practice … We disrupt the Western prescribed nuclear family structure requirement.” Several days later, Wiley tweeted that the BLM mission statement also spoke about … [Read more...]
