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 [...]

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.

One of the ideas floated as part of the Great Commission Resurgence discussion is that of merging the North American Mission Board and International Mission Board into a single missions organization. I don’t know if the idea will gain any traction but it’s interesting to note that according to a recent article in the Biblical [...]

Just a little Kentucky Baptist history
July 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment · All Posts, Baptist History, Cooperative Program, Kentucky Baptist Convention
One of the things I want to move to pretty quickly with this blog is the Cooperative Program funding formula for Kentucky since the amount of money used for various kinds of missions and ministries throughout the Southern Baptist Convention will be one of the major discussion points of the Great Commission Task Force. Before [...]
