This special report provides context for an upcoming presentation by the recently named Great Commission Resurgence Evaluation Task Force. It also studies retired seminary president Chuck Kelley’s assessment of life since implementing GCR.
Bart Barber emphasized the unity that is displayed to send fully funded missionaries. “I not only have hope for people in Central Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, Sub Saharan Africa, and eastern Europe because of you, but I have hope for Southern Baptists because of you,” Barber said.
“The wounded person on the side of the road is the abuse survivor, not Johnny Hunt, and she received no mention at all by this panel — she was passed by, in a way, by this quintet. I do not know her, but I don’t want to be guilty of leaving her on the side of the road. I am praying for her, I have heard her, and I believe her.”
“We probably all had somebody in our life who disagreed with choices that we made but loved us anyway. … We’re not ashamed of the Christian sexual ethic. We believe it’s important. We believe it’s part of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.”
“In the end, the goal is for our churches to have the biblical and practical resources necessary to prevent sexual abuse and to have an authentic Christlike compassion to minister to survivors.”
