Myers Park To Challenge Messenger Seating

By Norman Jameson

BR Editor



The Executive Committee ruled Monday morning that Myers Park Baptist Church is not "in friendly cooperation with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina."

Myers Park will challenge that finding at the BSC annual meeting Tuesday morning in Greensboro.
Myers Park is affiliated with several groups that "welcome and affirm" homosexuals as members and in leadership.
They wrote a letter to the Baptist State Convention in January declaring both that fact and their intent to stay affiliated with the Baptist State Convention.

Who can stand in the presence of God? Who will oppose and hinder God?
