As Baptist Churches go, mine is a rather moderate congregation. There are a few (old) fundamentalists and some (old and young) more liberal members. The congregation is increasingly racially diverse - no small thing in southern Arkansas.

The Pastor is young, thinks for himself, and understands the Gospels. I'm just trying to encourage him to grow a spine. For purposes of my encouragement I call it a prophetic voice.
