GCR is Deja Vu All Over Again — Part 4
September 24th, 2009 · No Comments · All Posts, Baptist History, Cooperative Program, Great Commission Task Force, International missions, Kentucky Baptist Convention, North American missions, Series - GCR is Deja Vu All Over Again, Southern Baptist Convention
In Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of this series, I’ve focused on how similar the rhetoric surrounding the Great Commission Resurgence today is to the rhetoric regarding the newly formed Cooperative Program in the mid 1920s. In this final post in this series, I think you’ll see this to an even greater extent [...]

GCR is Deja Vu All Over Again — Part 3
September 18th, 2009 · 1 Comment · All Posts, Baptist History, Cooperative Program, Series - GCR is Deja Vu All Over Again
In looking at the current Great Commission Resurgence conversation and the original discussions surrounding the formation and implementation of the Cooperative Program, I’ve been amazed at the similarity of the rhetoric. As I said in Part 2, Baptists seemed to be pretty on board with the general concept of the Cooperative Program in 1925. The [...]

As noted in Part 1, today’s Great Commission Resurgence discussion in Baptist life has really been going in various forms at least since 1913 when the Southern Baptist Convention put together an “Efficiency Committee” to make recommendations to Southern Baptists about better ways to operate and cooperate. That discussion eventually led to the formation of [...]

Something tells me that Yogi Berra may not be following the Great Commission Resurgence discussion in Southern Baptist life these days but one of his oft quoted malapropisms is certainly an appropriate one for the current conversation – “It’s deja vu all over again.” Because of the strong involvement and encouragement of young leaders in this [...]

Crossover Showed Southern Baptists at Their Best

While most of the focus of the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Louisville this past June was on the formation of the Great Commission Task Force, I have to say that for me the best part was what took place before messengers ever formally assembled for business. I had the opportunity to be a part [...]

Kentucky ‘Connects’ to Fulfill Great Commission
September 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · All Posts, Kentucky Baptist Convention, Kentucky Baptist entities, Kentucky missions
Well before the phrase Great Commission Resurgence was coined, the Kentucky Baptist Convention was about the process of refocusing its objectives and goals to develop better ways of strengthening local churches for the task of fulfilling the Great Commission. A special Mission Study Committee was appointed by the convention president in 2002 which led to [...]
