I found your reporting of the recent annual LBC very biased
and not factual in the Nov. 23 edition. By the unfortunate choice of writing
you are not helping the division in our SBC and LBC.
Your use of “strong majority” and “easily out
passed” in denoting the outcome of election of our LBC president for the
coming year was not the best reporting words. If you had taken into consideration
that usually an incumbent would be favored by 10 percent to 20 percent, it would
make the count closer.
Secondly, I believe most pastors and you in your interims would
not be happy with a less than two-thirds majority on vote of church business.
This was expressed in a letter to the editor in the Nov. 30 edition of the Baptist
Message by a pastor.
I did not attend the recent LBC annual meeting for several
reasons. One of which is I’m sick of politics! I do not lean heavily in
either direction when it comes to our SBC disagreement. With the hurt going
on in this controversy, your choice of words and reporting did not help the
healing that needs to take place.
