In a message at SEBTS last week, President Aiken surmised that the Southern Baptist Convention may need to consider changing its name. What do you think? Vote on the poll on the sidebar on the right.
BTY - You should seriously consider listening to Dr. Aiken's message. It is fantastic and deals with much weightier issues than names. He addresses the most important of issues: the gospel, the Great Commission, the authority of Scripture, the importance of family, diversity, and many more.

What sort of name would it take on?
BPM - baptist partnership for missions
"doing business as" the southern baptist convention (so we don't have to change our charters & official documents)
i also like evangelical baptist partnership, but i'm evangelical is taking on too many political connotations as well.
Great! I agree with Danny Aiken. I just read his blog on http://betweenthetimes.com/2009/04/16/akin-axioms-for-a-great-commission-resurgence/
I do hope that is the one you are talking about!
I do pray that all will be hungry to eat His Word and share the gospel in His Way. We all need His Word being preach to everyone.
We all need to reach out to other and be Bold as a Lion. Also have a big heart for Christ Alone.
Hungry to eat His Word,

I didn't vote! I can understand for the need to change the name. God is sovereign over this whether we should change the name or not! My concern is no matter what the name will be, that it should continue to be Christ-Center, Gospel-Center for Christ Alone.
