I wish to commend your congregation for their support of Scott McGuire in his call to ministry and I admire your courage — and his, of course — in making your decision “public” within the broader Baptist community.

Some have unfairly criticized me and the Baptist Joint Committee for not vigorously opposing what are considered to be religious liberty violations in connection with the implementation of the Obama administration’s new health care law. Let me set the record straight.

The church has always lived in tension between knowing clearly what the Bible says and understanding what the Bible means. Usually they are the same. Sometimes, they are not. The Bible is truly inspired, and the Spirit who inspired it, and the word he inspired, are dynamic enough to meet the challenges of change.

There is a huge difference between partnership and membership. Partnership comes from shared goals. Membership comes from shared identity, shared core. At times, membership must be superintended by an association in order to protect the integrity of the core. Otherwise, the mission will suffer.

A minority of our congregations produce a majority of our clergy. What is it about the culture of those churches that encourages a call to ministry among their members? How do they create a “culture of call” that invites parishoners to consider deeply the possibiity that God may be leading them into vocational ministry?

Imagine coming across a piece of correspondence sent in 1925, 88 years ago, and knowing that the person who wrote it is still alive! That's the experience I've had as my associate and I have been sifting through an estimated 25,000 letters to and from George White McDaniel, a prominent 20th-century minister.

Have you noticed that some people join your church and eventually become leaders while others join and eventually drop out? It is easy to assume that people in the latter group just weren’t that interested in spiritual things. Perhaps this is true in some cases, but usually people “drop out” because they were never really “let in.”

The world has changed, and it’s not coming back. Not now, not ever. I’m not saying all changes are good, but there is much good that God is doing. If we fail to partner with God in this great work here and now, and if we only see the bad, if we cower in fear and hide from reality, then what’s left to offer our children?
